Triggers for gold worth rally
Sugandha Sachdeva, Vice President — Commodity & Currency Research at Religare Broking Ltd mentioned, “Among the financial asset categories, gold looks quite undervalued. As an interest rate hike in the US is still far away and demand for physical gold is rising due to the approaching festival season in India, gold prices are expected to witness upside momentum after almost a year of correction and consolidation. At the highly anticipated Jackson Hole symposium, Fed Chair has indicated that any withdrawal of pandemic-era stimulus is likely to be gradual, which bodes well for gold in the current scenario. Though the movement in gold is not expected to be linear amid the risk-on sentiments in the markets, we advocate accumulating gold in a staggered manner on dips for a medium to long-term perspective as long as the level of $1680 per ounce is holding on a closing basis in the international markets. On the higher side, prices will however face a major hurdle at $1960 an ounce or ₹52,500 per 10 gm level at the domestic market in the medium term. But, once this level is breached, we can expect the yellow metal price to march higher towards its lifetime high of 56,191 per 10gm at MCX.”
Third wave of Covid
Pointing in the direction of the Covid-19 issue fueling gold worth rally in final months of 2021; Abhishek Chauhan, Head — Commodity & Currency at Swastika Investmart Ltd mentioned, “One major factor that has led to this shift in market sentiment by money managers in the bullion sector is the unknown effect of the current Delta variant in regards to slowing down the economic growth in the United States and other countries. The surge of new infections across the countries predominantly due to the Delta variant of the Covid 19 virus has resulted in more than 155,000 new cases per day. More alarming is that the death count has now exceeded 1100 souls losing their lives each day in the United States. Rising inflation will be the overwhelming factor taking gold higher.”
Rise in demand for bodily gold

A break above the level of $2120 per ounce in Comex and ₹58,000 per 10 gm on MCX required interest rate to be at the current level from the US, which has come out from the recent US Fed’s Jackson Hole symposium.”
Silver worth outlook

Silver prices are looking very strong for the upcoming months after the pickup in industrial activities post-Covid. Demand for metals by China and other major economies especially in the EV sector will be an added advantage that will push the prices of silver higher as compared with gold. We expect demand will be more in silver and likely to touch the levels of ₹85,000 per kg and beyond.”
Speaking on silver worth outlook; Sugandha Sachdeva of Religare Broking mentioned that silver will stay a laggard compared to gold within the near-term as silver provide has been steadily rising this 12 months after being impacted final 12 months because of the pandemic induced mine closures, although within the long-term it appears to outperform gold due to its funding demand in addition to rising industrial demand. There has been an enhanced give attention to inexperienced power initiatives globally, the place silver is utilized in photo voltaic panels in addition to in electrical autos. Rising demand for inexperienced power options is prefer to play out and underpin the costs of the white metallic from a long-term standpoint. Total demand for silver is anticipated to surge by 15 per cent in 2021.
Another key dynamic to think about is the truth that silver has to but to meet up with the bottom metallic complicated, the place we’ve seen a stellar rally YTD.
