Intraday trading strategy: Sell MCX Gold, Silver futures, recommends this expert

Gold was trading with weakness on Tuesday amid stronger US Dollar and elevated bond yields as investors chose to remain on the sidelines ahead of US Inflation Data that will be declared later this week. The data could indicate the next rate hike in the next US Federal Reserve monetary policy announcements, a Motilal Oswal report noted.

Taking cues from their international peer, the yellow metal futures were trading with some weakness on the MCX at the time of filing of the story.

At around 5:24 pm, MCX December Gold futures were trading at Rs 50919 per 10 gram and were down by Rs 104 or 0.20 per cent from the Monday closing price.

Meanwhile, the December Silver futures were trading at Rs 58285 per kg around this time and were down by Rs 817 or 1.38 per cent.

MCX Gold futures are likley to trade in a lower range over this session, the Motilal Oswal report said. It sees support at Rs 50600-50430 while resistance at Rs 50900-51050.

Likewise, Silver futures on MCX are also expected to rade in a lower range. Support is seen at Rs 57800-57550 while resistance is seen at Rs 58350-58570.
