For traders, the strategy remains that of Selling in Gold and Silver futures, Gupta said.  

However, June has been a good month for investors who have been planning to make fresh investments in yellow metal as the prices have come down appreciable this month not just in Gold but silver as well. A dip in prices is an opportunity for fresh moves in bullion, Gupta had previously said.   

Gupta said that the MCX Gold Futures have become cheaper by over 4.6 per cent in June while MCX Silver Futures prices have come down by over 6 per cent during this period. In terms of value, Gold Futures prices have dipped by over Rs 2300 per 10 gram while Silver Futures prices by Rs 4000 per kg.  

As for domestic prices, the fall has started reflecting not only on exchanges but in the physical markets too, Gupta said. In Delhi, the price of physical gold has come down to Rs 47,500 per 10 gram while that of silver is Rs 67,000, Gupta said.  

In Noida jewellery markets, the prices are more or less similar, the VP said.    

He expects more correction in the international prices, going forward, but that could have limited impact because of strengthening US Dollar leading higher exchange rates.   

Gold futures on Wednesday were trading around USD 1780 while Silver futures were trading around USD 25.80. He expects Gold Futures to test levels around USD 1740 while Silver Futures to test levels around USD 24.50 within a fortnight if the negative sentiments continue.           

Gold and Silver futures prices were trading with some gains on Wednesday as the former was up by Rs 74 from the previous closing price while the latter was up by Rs 305 around 2:20 pm.
