Yesterday, spot gold was little changed with a gain of $1.4 and ended at $ 1,798.8 an ounce, as markets anticipated quicker rate hikes based on key December U.S. inflation data due later this week, while stronger bond yields continued to cap gains.

Gold may edge higher despite U.S. 10-year Treasury yields hitting a two-year high, as traders hedged their positions against inflation and on-going geopolitical risks. Investors now await inflation data due on Wednesday. U.S. core CPI is expected to have risen by 5.4%, its highest in decades, in December, and up from 4.9% in the prior month. MCX Gold February may rise to Rs. 47,600 per 10 gram.

Gold has been stuck between $1760 -$1830 since 22 November. Rising government bond yields are working against safe haven gold demand. The key data point for gold this week would be Wednesday’s consumer price index report for December, which is expected to come in at up 7.1%, year-on-year. Gold has strong headwinds against surging US Treasury yields and Fed’s quantitative tightening. Hedge funds have also dropped their speculative gross long positions in Comex gold futures by 6,137contracts to 124,252 while short positions have increased by 1,982 contracts to 44,744. In MCX, 47300 appears to be today’s support and we might see some weak bounce off but unless 48200 is not breached, we are not convinced that gold might stage any strong upmove. Gold is expected to remain relatively weak this week

On strong US dollar and treasury yields, gold prices are trading under pressure. Fed’s December meeting minutes has pushed ji gold to lower levels. However, traders are cautious and closely watching the development of Omicron for further position building in gold.

The dollar, which moves against gold prices, gained 0.30% yesterday. Easing Crude oil prices as Libya’s oil production bounce back to strengthen the Dollar put pressure on precious metals. US 10 year bond yield also rose to 1.80% which is attracting investors to park their money in the Dollar index. Selling pressure is expected in precious metals if prices rise towards resistance levels. Gold has resistance at 47700 and support at 47250. Silver has resistance at 61000 and support at 60000.
