“Gold and silver were also supported due to power shortages in European countries and China and affecting manufacturing activities. Despite a stable dollar index both the precious metals gained on Monday,” he said.

“We expect both the precious metals to remain volatile in today’s session and gold is expected to hold $1740 per troy ounce levels. At MCX, Gold has support at 45900-45660 and resistance at 46300-46550; silver is having support at 60100-59800 and resistance at 61100-61600 levels,” recommends Jain.

COMEX gold trades little changed near $1753/oz after a flat close in the previous session. Gold is range-bound as support from global growth worries and rising inflation concerns amid the energy crisis is countered by firmness in the US dollar and increased expectations of monetary tightening by the Fed and other central banks.

ETF outflows also show weaker investor interest. Gold may remain choppy as safe-haven buying will be offset by Fed's rate hike expectations

Gold prices remained mostly steady with some early signs of short-covering by traders however the near-term trend is still bearish. The US Federal Reserve will continue to remain in focus which has contained any big move in the precious metal due to its updated commentating on tapering.

Gold prices are under pressure due to bond yields which is trading at three months higher and robust dollar. Gold on MCX has also closed mostly unchanged and is expected to remain rangebound until it crosses and sustains above $1791/oz in US market.
