Gold and Silver - August 27, 2021 - Reliance Securities

Mr. Sriram Iyer, Senior Research Analyst at Reliance Securities

Markets recovered this week supported by a small fall in the dollar.

Moreover, rising coronavirus cases could drive expectations that the U.S. Federal Reserve might delay tapering of economic support and lent support to gold.

Data from IHS Markit showed U.S. business activity growth slowed for a third straight month in August as capacity constraints, supply shortages and the rapidly spreading Delta variant weakened the momentum of the rebound from last year's pandemic-induced recession and lent support to bullion.

However, investors refrained themselves from taking large positions as the Jackson hole Symposium Event started this week as investors looked ahead to the eagerly awaited speech from Fed Chair Jerome Powell's speech.

Ahead of the speech by Jerome Powell, hawkish comments by two regional Federal Reserve presidents suggested a faster pace of reducing the U.S. central bank's asset purchases kept upside capped.

There is a remote possibility that the Fed chair may not announce anything in his speech on Friday and could make an announcement at the September meeting after the awaiting the August non-farm payroll number in the 1st week of September.
