Gold price today: Yellow metal rangebound over mixed signal on trade talks; buy on dips

India Gold February futures were trading flat with the negative territory on December 6 following uncertainty over the U.S-China trade negotiations with mixed messages emerging from the two sides. Gold had closed flat a day earlier at Rs 38,085. However, silver prices gained around 0.50 percent at 44,100. On the Multi Commodity Exchange, gold contracts for February traded lower by Rs 51, or 0.13 percent, at Rs 38,034 per 10 gram at 0920 hours. Experts feel that gold may trade in the range but investors can still look at buying the yellow metal on dips for a target of Rs 38,250. “Gold is flat on Friday due to rise in risk sentiment after US President Donald Trump's latest comments rekindled hopes of a trade deal with China, but dollar's weakness kept the bullion on track for a weekly rise,” Jateen Trivedi, Senior Research Analyst (Commodity & Currency) at LKP Securities told Moneycontrol. Trump said trade talks were "moving right along", while Beijing reiterated its stance on withdrawal of the December 15 tariffs as part of an interim deal to de-escalate their 17-month trade war, he said.
