In the international market, spot gold continued to trade above the $2020 mark amid safe haven buying as US debt ceiling concerns persist
Gold prices edged lower in Asian trading hours on Thursday as volatility in yellow metal expanded post US inflation data, Gandhi said.
“Gold is expected to find support amid expectation of a decline in key US PPI numbers. The US PPI YoY is expected to dip to 2.5% against previous reading of 2.7%. Further, forecast of increase in weekly jobless claims number could also provide some support to the precious metal. MCX gold is expected to remain in a bullish bias as long as it trades above ₹60800. On the upside, ₹61600 level would act as resistance,” said ICICI Direct in its report.
Spot gold fell 0.1% to $2,026.99 per ounce by 1033 GMT, while U.S. gold futures ticked down 0.2% to $2,033.30.
