Trading Strategy:
Ravindra Rao, VP- Head Commodity Research at Kotak Securities.
COMEX gold trades 0.4% lower near $1710/oz after a 2.3% gain yesterday. Gold rallied sharply yesterday on correction in US bond yields and US dollar. Gold however eased today as the US dollar recouped some losses.
While gold sways along with the US dollar, support from US stimulus and Chinese equity market sell-off is countered by weaker investor interest.
Gold may continue to sway along with the US dollar however a sharp rise is unlikely unless bond yields correct sharply.
