Gold Futures Price: Trading Strategy:

As for December Silver futures, buying is recommended at Rs 52500 with a stop loss of Rs 51900 and target of Rs 53500.

"The trajectory that gold prices have taken in the last week, is not surprising . The Fed voices, right from the Fed Chairman to individual State Fed presidents, all have been unanimously Hawkish. Adding to that, an upbeat US macro data and  growing concerns of Chinese economy, don’t make much of an argument for a bullish bullion trend in the near future. The market will definitely track the NFP data today, but either way, it may not translate well for gold. A better than expected number will logically lead to a correction in gold prices, especially when the probability of a rate hike will increase, as Fed has made it clear that their rate decisions will be data driven, going forward. A worse off number could lead to correction in broader markets and rise in safe heaven USD, which could result in lower gold prices.  Either way, the recovery rally in gold is still some time off. So sell on rise is the recommended strategy," Pritam Patnaik,Head-Commodities, HNI & NRI Acquisitions at Axis Securities said.
