The shoot-up in US inflation data was a surprise to the market, and pushed dollar higher. But now the focus is on Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s two-day testimony. We expect Powell to reiterate a dovish stance, but the gold traders will refrain to place fresh bets before it. MCX Gold prices hit a high of 48071 levels yesterday but prices retraced to close at 47889 levels. An intraday break above 48100 will open targets of 48299/48375 levels for the counter. Areas around 47700 are support on dips for the day. Weakness below this level will see prices slip towards 47560/47500 levels again. However, until prices are trading above 46900, every dip is a buying opportunity for long term with target of 48500-49000.

Gold prices saw sharp movement after US CPI rose 0.9% in June. Gold prices still is struggling despite hotter than expected inflation data as in the short-term, rising inflation could force the Federal Reserve to tighten interest rates sooner than expected. So we are expecting limited upside despite inflation running higher and not looking transitory. In MCX, support for gold comes at 47500 and resistance at 48300. Buy on dips is recommended with stoploss of 47500.

COMEX gold trades little changed near $1812/oz after a 0.2% gain yesterday. Gold is choppy as Fed’s monetary tightening expectations are countered by increased safe haven appeal for the metal. Support from rising virus cases and choppy equities are countered by weaker ETF interest and slack consumer buying. Gold may remain near $1800/oz amid mixed factors however firmness in US dollar may continue to weigh.

Amidst higher-than-expected US CPI data gold prices are holding bullish sentiments and manage to trade above $1800 an ounce level. Rising prices in the current scenario is a double-edged sword, it can support gold prices as the inflation hedge with a caveat which could force Fed to tighten the interest rates sooner than expected. Gold on MCX is also trading in a tight range where skilled traders are making money on both sides. Sideways consolidation is likely to continue until it sustains above 48000 levels.
