Commenting on the bullion market, Tapan Patel, Senior Analyst (Commodities) at HDFC Securities mentioned, “Gold prices traded under pressure over stronger dollar which rose above 107 against major currencies. The lack of fresh triggers have also capped upside in gold prices. Gold prices are set to end the week lower as hawkish signals from the US Federal Reserve on the path of US interest rates drove up the dollar. We expect gold prices to trade sideways to down for the day with COMEX spot gold support at $1,740 and resistance at $1,765 per ounce. MCX Gold October support lies at Rs 51,200 and resistance at Rs 51,800 per 10 gram.”
