Gold and silver prices settled on a slightly weaker note in the international markets on Monday amid strength in the dollar index and U.S. bond yields.

The Gold December futures contract settled at $1755.70 per troy ounce, and the silver December futures contract settled at $22.66 per troy ounce. Due to weakness in the rupee both the precious metals settled on a mixed note in the domestic markets.

The market is waiting for fresh fundamental triggers for further move in the precious metals. The global energy crisis will certainly impact global growth in the coming months, suggest experts. Goldman Sachs slashed U.S. growth forecasts for this year and next as well last week.

“We expect both the precious metals could continue to hold its lower-level supports, global growth concerns due to energy crisis could support prices,” Manoj Kumar Jain, Director, Head-Commodity & Currency Research, Prithvifinmart Commodity Research, said.

“Gold has support at $1748-1734 per troy ounce and resistance at $1764-1778 per troy ounce; silver has support at $22.44-22.20 per troy ounce and resistance at $22.88-23.10 per troy ounce,” he said.

Jain suggests buying gold on dips around Rs 46,850 with a stop loss of Rs 46,650 for the target of Rs 47,200.

Gold is trading around Rs 46,929. In Global markets, price is trading flat trading around $1756.25 per ounce.

Looking at rising bond yields we cannot expect extensive moves in gold. Gold and bond yields are said to be inversely correlated.

One can follow a buy-on dips strategy and accumulate looking at current levels as the festive season picks up. We have a target of 49,784-52,603.

Targets can be achieved if it breaks the triangle with good volumes and bullish candles.

COMEX gold trades marginally higher near $1758/oz after a 0.1% decline yesterday. Gold witnessed a brief rally on Friday in reaction to US non-farm payrolls data but has retreated to trade in a narrow range near the $1750/oz level.

Weighing on gold is firmness in the US dollar index amid higher bond yields, monetary tightening expectations, and safe-haven buying.

Gold may continue to trade in a range as Fed’s monetary tightening expectations may be countered by inflation and growth worries however we expect buying interest to emerge at lower levels as rising challenges to the global economy may increase its safe-haven appeal.
