The dollar index slipped from one-year highs and supported both the precious metals. Gold and silver also got support after unemployment claims in the United States rose to 3,62,000, against expected claims of 3,33,000, suggest experts.

“We expect gold prices could test $1788 per troy ounce and silver prices could test $23.20 per troy ounce levels again this week. We suggest a buy on dips strategy in both the precious metals for this week,” Manoj Kumar Jain, Director, Head-Commodity & Currency Research, Prithvifinmart Commodity Research, said.

“At MCX, Gold has support at 46300-46100 and resistance at 46720-46900; silver has support at 60000-59500 and resistance at 61100-61700 levels,” he said.

Jain suggests buying gold on dips around 46300 with a stop loss of 46050 for the target of 46800, silver can be bought around 60000 with a stop loss of 59220 for the target of 61700, he said.

Technical Indicators:

Expert: Ravindra Rao, CMT, EPAT, VP- Head Commodity Research at Kotak Securities

COMEX gold trades marginally higher $1764/oz after a 0.1% gain in the previous session. Gold trades higher supported by a retreat in US dollar index from recent highs, rising inflation concerns on the back of higher energy prices, mixed economic data from major economies, and worries about Chinese economic health.

However, weighing on price is Fed’s monetary tightening expectations, some progress on COVID-19 treatment, upbeat economic data, and continuing ETF outflows. Gold has rescaled $1750/oz however a sustained rise may be difficult if equity markets manage to stabilize.
