Expect market to continue to be sideways to negative, Pritam Patnaik of Axis Securities says. He is Head - Commodities, HNI & NRI Acquisitions.

“A trifecta impact of impending US interest rate hike of 0.75 per cent to 1 per cent, strong USD, and higher bond yields have sapped any potential positivity from gold bulls. Yesterday’s brief-up move in gold was aggressively sold into, showing the lack of confidence the asset class enjoys amongst traders and investors,” he said.

“It’s a given fact that gold is technically in oversold territory, but with the upcoming US Fed rate decision in the coming days, no traders are willing to stick their necks out. Money managers and retail investors seem to be reducing their longs, with both the CFTC data and SPDR gold fund indicating unwinding of longs and fund outflow,” this expert said.
