“At MCX, if gold prices sustain above 50100 per 10-gram levels, then it could test 50330-50500 levels again, while 49800 is likely to act as a major support for the gold,” Manoj Jain, Director (Head-Commodity & Currency Research) at Prithvi Finmart told Moneycontrol.
“At MCX, if silver prices sustain above 60,220, then the momentum could extend 60800-61500 levels, while Rs 59200 is likely to act as a major support for the silver. We expect both the precious metals remain volatile in today's session and both side moves are expected,” he said.
