Gold prices to trade lower: Angel Commodities

Angel Commodities' report on gold

On Tuesday, spot gold prices rose 0.24 percent to close at $1280.6 per  ounce as a weakening U.S. dollar and sluggish stock market helped  pull the precious metal off a one - week low hit in early trade, while  traders also said uncertainty over the fate of a U.S. tax cut prompted  some safe - haven buying of gold. Worries about Republican tax plans and the economy's ability to deal with more interest rate hikes dented appetite for assets perceived as risky and boosted gold's appeal as a safe - haven. Four of the world's top central bankers promised to keep openly guiding investors about future policy moves as they slowly withdraw the huge monetary stimulus rolled out during the financial crisis. On the MCX, gold prices rose by 0.07 percent to close at Rs.29763 per 10 gms.
