“US stimulus hopes and weakness in the dollar index continue to support gold prices. Monetary easing by most of the developed countries will lead to the inflation in coming months and gold and silver will get support due to hedge against inflation,” Manoj Jain, Director (Head-Commodity & Currency Research) at Prithvi Finmart told Moneycontrol.
“We expect dollar index will also face stiff resistance due to fresh economic stimulus in the United States and will support to the precious metals prices. Gold and silver prices remain volatile but expected to get support at lower levels,” he said.
Jain further added that at MCX, Gold has support at 50330-50000 levels and resistance at 50800-51000 levels while silver has support at 62500-61800 and resistance at 63660-64400 levels. “We expect any sharp decline in the prices would be an opportunity for buying in the gold around 50000 levels and in silver around 61800 levels,” he added.

COMEX gold trades little changed near $1878/oz after a 1.2% gain yesterday. Gold is range-bound as support from rising virus cases and hopes of additional stimulus measures is countered by mixed ETF activity, signs of progress on the vaccine front, and uncertainty about the US fiscal stimulus deal.
Gold has bounced back from recent lows but we may see choppy trade amid mixed factors but the general bias may be on the upside amid hopes that central banks may do more to boost economic recovery.
