Gold Price: What Analysts Say On Current Gold Rate
“COMEX gold settled 0.6 per cent lower at $1727.10/oz as risk-on re-emerged after the White House economic advisor said that US President is determined not to close the US economy over new cases of COVID-19. However, in today’s early session, gold traded up 0.5 per cent near $1735/oz .Gold has remained choppy in last few sessions amid frequent changes in risk sentiments,” said Ravindra Rao, VP-head commodity research at Kotak Securities.
“We expect the choppiness to continue until there are mixed cues. However, the downside might be limited to $1700/oz-$1680/oz as bargain buying has been seen in the past at those levels. On the flipside, upside may be capped at $1750/oz,” he added.
