Gold prices saw a steady move in the first half of the session although eased to a three month low in the latter half, as hawkish comments from Fed officials and an elevated dollar continued to pressure bullion while investors await monthly U.S. inflation data, which could have some impact on the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy stance. Fed officials fortified their arguments for the swiftest series of interest rate hikes since at least the 1990s to combat inflation, while President Joe Biden urged the U.S. central bank to tame the price increases he said were hurting American households. Market participants today will keep an eye on the U.S. inflation data which could give further direction to metal prices. There are expectations of YoY inflation being recorded lower to 8.1% than the previous month of 8.5%, this could lead to some initial pressure on metal prices. Fall in both metals with higher pace has led to a surge in gold/silver ratio which is currently at ~85 levels from high 70’s, hence keeping an eye on this will also be very important. Broader trend on COMEX could be in the range of $1815- 1857 and on domestic front prices could hover in the range of Rs 50,000- 50,600

COMEX gold trade marginally lower near $1837/oz and has tested 3-month low near $1830/oz. Gold has continued to set fresh lows amid Fed’s monetary tightening stance which has kept US dollar and bond yields higher. ETF outflows also shows investors are exiting the metal. Global growth worries and inflation concerns have dented market sentiment but market players are preferring US dollar over other safe havens. Gold may remain under pressure until we see a sizeable correction in the US dollar index.
