Indian Gold MCX April Futures rose to over 48,000 rupees on February 9, tracking the positive trend of international spot prices. MCX Silver March Futures also traded at more than 70,000 rupees.

According to Reuters reports, international spot gold prices rose slightly due to the weaker dollar and hoped that the United States would introduce a large-scale stimulus package to support the virus-affected economy, which boosted the attractiveness of precious metals.

Experts recommend buying the dip in the domestic precious metal prices. Any drop to 47,580 rupees should be used to reach the target of 49,100 rupees per 10 grams.

The price of gold and silver gained for the second straight day, driven by a weaker U.S. dollar index and US President Joe Biden’s push through the senate stimulus package of $1.9 trillion.

Experts suggest that after the pessimistic non-agricultural (farm) employment data in the United States was released last week, gold and silver catch bargains were bought at lower levels.

Manoj Jain, head of Commodity and Currency Research at Prithvi Finmart, said: We expect both precious metals to remain volatile. Gold may face strong resistance of almost US$1,858 per troy ounce, while silver may face stiff resistance around US$28.55 per troy ounce.

After gaining 1.2% yesterday, COMEX gold rose slightly, close to 1838 US dollars per ounce. Gold trading is higher, supported by recent highs in the US dollar index correction and increased expectations of the US stimulus measures.

However, the weighing on prices lies in the outflow of ETFs, the increase in US bond yields, and the improvement in risk sentiment. 

Gold has recovered from its recent lows, but only a sharp correction in the U.S. dollar can it continue to rise.
