Gold Price Today: Gold prices bounced back on Monday after the European Central Bank announced a 50 bps rate hike on Thursday to tame inflation. This triggered a rally in Euro taking some strength from the Dollar Index (DXY). A weaker US Dollar helped the yellow metal bounce back, commodity expert Anuj Guta said.

Selling pressure in Gold and silver in the global markets is keeping bullion prices on the edge. The pressure is likely to continue in the near to immediate term, Gupta said. The price of Gold has fallen by 0.9 per cent in the international market between Monday and Wednesday trading sessions this week, commodity expert Gupta said. Meanwhile, silver prices have declined by 1.20 per cent during this period, he added.

The strength in Dollar Index (DXY) is impacting its safe haven appeal despite fears of economic slowdown and geo-political tensions, Gupta said. Gold is expected to remain on edge as investors are keenly watching the US Federal Reserve meeting scheduled on 25-26 July.

Gupta, who is Vice President (VP), Commodity and Currency Research at IIFL Securities recommends a Sell on MCX Gold and Silver Futures. Prices of Gold and Silver futures rebounded in the evening session and this opportunity should now be used to book profits, the VP said.
