In the international market Gold prices edged above $1,900 per ounce level on Friday, supported by a pullback in the dollar and lower bond yields.

“International spot gold and silver prices rebounded from the lows of the session to end higher on Thursday after data showed US consumer prices increased more than expected last month but eased fears over the Federal Reserve tapering its monetary support. The consumer price index increased 0.6% last month after surging 0.8% in April, which was the largest gain since June, while the core CPI shot up 3.8% in the 12 months through May, the largest increase since June 1992,” said Sriram Iyer, Senior Research Analyst at Reliance Securities.
“On the ECB front, the central kept rates unchanged but said it would continue to run its emergency bond purchases at a higher pace than at the beginning of the year, fearing that any retreat could sharply raise borrowing costs and slow down a long-delayed recovery,” Iyer added.
“International spot gold prices are hovering near the key $1,900 per ounce level on Friday morning in Asian trade, helped by a weaker dollar and U.S. bond yields. Investors hope that the Federal Reserve would not change its dovish stance despite a rise in US inflation. Technically, LBMA Gold Spot could trade on bullish note within the range of $1890-$1912 levels. LBMA Silver could trade in a range of $27.20-$28.65 levels,” he further mentioned.

” The global gold prices despite higher CPI & inflation data in US has bounced off their session low clearly shows the investors are confident that Federal Reserve will not be in a hurry to tighten interest rates anytime soon. Fundamentally the higher inflation data is negative for gold as it indicates that Fed needs to tighten its monetary policy however market is anticipating that it will not change the Fed’s view of keeping rates low as the inflation numbers are not out of the range,” said Sandeep Matta, founder, TRADEIT Investment Advisor.
