Overview:

Gold prices surged above $2,720, recovering from a dip in the previous session, where the metal fell by more than 1% due to a stronger US dollar and rising Treasury yields. The pullback came as investors anticipated that the Federal Reserve would adopt a cautious approach to monetary easing. However, gold’s climb remains underpinned by its status as a safe-haven asset, bolstered by escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. The ongoing military conflict has raised concerns about a broader confrontation, keeping gold demand robust among risk-averse investors.

In addition to geopolitical factors, the looming US presidential election continues to add uncertainty to the market, further supporting precious metals. As major central banks, including the European Central Bank and Bank of England, consider further monetary easing measures, the backdrop remains favorable for gold.

 

The technical outlook for gold indicates key support levels at $2,700, while resistance is pegged at $2,740. On the domestic front, MCX gold prices are likely to find support at ₹77,400, with resistance at ₹78,200.

Market Strategy: Actionable advice includes selling on a jump around $2,735-39, targeting $2,705, with a strict stop loss above $2,747..
