Gold Price Today: Yellow metal trades flat; buy on dips, say experts

Gold was muted while silver suffered losses in early trade in the Indian market on September 15, even as global cues were positive after the US inflation cooled a bit and the dollar eased against other currencies.

On MCX, October gold futures were trading 0.06 percent lower at Rs 47,231 for 10 grams at 0945 hours. December Silver was 0.24 percent lower at Rs 63,430 a kg.

Gold and silver gained in the global markets after lower-than-expected US inflation data. The US consumer price index (CPI) increased 0.3 percent in August compared to July.

The two metals may remain volatile on September 15 and hold their support levels, said Manoj Kumar Jain, Director, Head-Commodity & Currency Research, Prithvifinmart Commodity Research.

"Gold is having support at $1,796-1,784 per troy ounce and resistance at $1,818-1,832 per troy ounce. Silver has support at $23.55-23.20 per troy ounce and resistance at $24.14-24.50 per troy ounce," he said.

On MCX, gold has support at Rs 47,050-46,920 and resistance at Rs 47,400-47,550, he said. For silver, support is at Rs 63,100-62,800 and resistance at Rs 63,900-64,200.

Jain suggests buying silver on dips around Rs 63,200 with a closing stop loss of Rs 62,800 for the target of Rs 64,100.

Technical indicators

Expert: Ravindra Rao,CMT, EPAT, VP- Head Commodity Research at Kotak Securities

Gold paused near $1,800 after making gains the previous day but is being supported by choppiness in the dollar, renewed virus concerns, disappointing economic data from China, concerns over China’s regulatory crackdown and growing geopolitical tensions.

ETF investors moved to the sidelines after brief inflows earlier in the week. Gold may witness choppy trade along with the dollar but challenges to the global economy and easing price pressure in the US may support the metal.

Gold bounced back from its key support levels and gained Rs 700 per 10 gram on September 14 as inflation data remained weak due to increased COVID-19 cases in the US.

However, gold has resistance at Rs 47,500 and if it breaks this level, then momentum will continue towards Rs 48,300.
