The rise is supported by a cautious market mood and a slight dip in US Dollar demand. Meanwhile, Federal Reserve officials offered no clear signals on future monetary policy, keeping expectations of a 25 bps rate cut unchanged.
Gold and silver showed very high volatility and recovered from their lows amid drop in the U.S. 10-year bond yields and increasing global instability due to higher public debts.
Today, the US Dollar Index, DXY, was hovering near the 103.19 mark, gaining 0.07 or 0.07%.
Public debts are increasing due to weak global economic growth, tight financial conditions, fiscal slippages and unstable economic policies and supporting safe-haven buying of precious metals. Geo-political tensions are already supporting prices of precious metals. “The Gold on daily chart shows strong bullish momentum, with buyers defending support at the 20 SMA around $2,638. The 100 and 200 SMAs are trending upward, reinforcing the bullish outlook. The Momentum indicator is near its 100 line, and the RSI is slightly higher at 62, supporting further gains. While upward momentum is limited in the near term, the risk remains on the upside, and chances of new record highs are possible if the $2,638 level holds,” said Neha Qureshi Senior Technical & Derivative Analyst, Anand Rathi Commodities & Currencies.
