“COMEX gold trades 0.5 per cent higher near $1735/oz after a 2.1 per cent decline yesterday when it tested March lows. Gold inched up on dip buying and is supported by increased geopolitical tensions, rising virus cases, rising inflationary pressure and concerns about Chinese economy. However, weighing on price is firmness in the US dollar and weaker investor interest. The general bias for gold is on the downside amid increased debate about Fed’s monetary tightening however , the recent sell-off seems overdone and some recovery is possible,” Ravindra Rao, Head Commodity Research at Kotak Securities said.
