Mr. Sriram Iyer, Senior Research Analyst at Reliance Securities
International gold prices are trading with marginal losses this Thursday morning and early afternoon trade in Asia, extending losses from Wednesday weighed down by stronger U.S. Dollar and firm U.S. bond yields.
Both dollar and yields could continue to move higher as the U.S. economy is recovering better than peers amid aggressive vaccine rollouts and stimulus.
At the same time, downside remained limited amid safe haven appeal for the yellow metal as Europe struggles with its third wave of COVID-19 cases and a delayed vaccine rollout.
On the economic calendar front, U.S. is expected to release the Q4 GDP and weekly jobless claims data tonight and markets will be keenly awaiting both sets of data.
Technically, LBMA Gold Spot is sustaining above 21-Daily Moving Average at $1731 levels and above which could see sideways to marginal upside momentum. Resistance is $1742-$1753 levels.
Domestic gold prices are trading marginally weaker this Thursday morning and early afternoon trade, tracking weak overseas markets.
Technically, MCX Gold April resistance remains at 45000 levels and only a breakout above will push prices to 45200-45440 levels. Support remains at 44600-44500 levels.
Strategy for Gold April for the rest of the session will be buying near 44800 with a stoploss at 44650 and a target at 45150.
