Gold was trading lower in the Indian market on March 28 on global cues as hopes of progress in Russia-Ukraine peace talks to be held during the week dented safe-haven demand for bullion, while a stronger dollar and higher yields weighed on the metal.
On the Multi-Commodity Exchange (MCX), gold contracts were down 0.27 percent at Rs 51,737 for 10 gram at 9.48 am and silver slipped 0.65 percent to Rs 68,392 a kilogram.
In the international market, spot gold fell 0.5 percent to $1,947.90 a troy ounce. US gold futures were down 0.2 percent at $1,949.70.
A late-night agreement on Russia-Ukraine peace talks to be held in Turkey and a limited lockdown in Shanghai played well for world markets. Market participants will eagerly follow the events in Turkey as Russia and Ukraine open second round of talks on March 28.
Technically, gold has got support at $1,943 and $1,935. If it fails to hold these levels, the yellow metal can slip to $1,921. A reverse can see it touching $1,967, said Vidit Garg, Director, MyGoldKart.
Trading Strategy
Ravi Singh, vice president, and head, research, ShareIndia
Gold is attractive due to soaring inflation and uncertainty surrounding the Russian-Ukraine war. As long as the two factors continue to dominate market sentiment, chances of a further uptrend in gold prices remain intact. It is a good opportunity to go long on every dip.
Buy zone above Rs 52,000 for the target of Rs 52,300
Sell zone below Rs 51,600 for the target of Rs 51,400
