In the worldwide market, spot gold was up 0.3 per cent to $1,769.74 per ounce, as of 0628 GMT. US gold futures rose 0.5 per cent to $1,785.60, Reuters information confirmed.
Navneet Damani, Senior VP – Commodity Research at Motilal Oswal Financial Services, in a word defined that gold costs edged greater, amidst uncertainty between China and US over Taiwan and have been additionally buoyed by a pullback of US Treasury yields, whereas buyers awaited the US non-farm payrolls report later this week that might provide extra cues on the Federal Reserve’s price hike plans.
“Fed policymakers signaled that the central bank remains resolute in getting US rates up to a level that will more significantly curb economic activity and put a dent in the highest inflation since the 1980s. Yes, gold appears to have gained some ground in the past few session, although prospect of further increase in interest rate this year capped gains for metal on higher side. Data showed the US services industry unexpectedly picked up in July as new orders grew solidly, while US factory orders also rose in June, gaining 2 per cent after advancing 1.8 per cent in May. Focus today will be on weekly jobless claims data and tomorrow will be on US non farm and unemployment rate. Broader trend on COMEX could be in the range of $1,750-1,790 and on domestic front prices could hover in the range of Rs 51,500- 52,500 could be expected,” he mentioned.
