MCX Gold Outlook
Abhishek M Pelu – Research Analyst at Way2Wealth Brokers, said on Friday that “On the technical front, MCX gold continues to hover near its alltime high. In the last three sessions, MCX gold has witnessed supply at higher levels, closing negative for three consecutive sessions. However, there are no major signs of weakness, and it is now trading near its 10-day EMA support. Immediate support is placed at 108,900, while resistance is seen at 109,800. Positional traders can consider booking partial profits, as MCX gold has rallied strongly in the past month and some pullback may be expected.”
Spot Gold Prediction
“Spot Gold is likely to correct further towards $3600 level on strong dollar and rise in U.S treasury yields across curve. Dollar and Yield may move further north as US Fed delivered expected rate cut but warned on sticky inflation seeding doubts over the pace of future policy easing. US Fed Chair Powell statements signaled that central bank is in no hurry to lower borrowing cost quickly in coming months. Additionally, improved economic data from U.S would continue to weigh on gold prices. Meanwhile, demand for safe haven may increase on escalating geopolitical tensions in Middle East and Eastern Europe, political uncertainty in France and Japan and concerns over U.S Fed independence,” commented the research analysts of ICICI Direct.
