COMEX gold trades modestly higher near $1756/oz after a 0.1% decline yesterday. Gold inched up amid choppiness in US dollar post recent gains as mixed inflation readings has added to uncertainty about Fed’s monetary tightening. Also supporting prices are rising virus cases and concerns about the health of Chinese economy. However, weighing on price is firmness in equities and lack of ETF investor buying. Gold may consolidate however Fed’s monetary tightening debate may keep pressure on prices.

London spot Gold ended almost flat at $1,752 an ounce with a marginal gain of a dollar, as a firm dollar offset ease in early-tapering bets, although the precious metal was headed for a second consecutive weekly decline. Meanwhile, Americans filing claims for unemployment benefits fell again last week (actual 375K vs forecast 375K vs prv week 386K) as the economic recovery continues to be bumpy, a separate Labor Department report showed on Thursday. Gold is likely to experience a rebound amid a mild weakness in the US dollar. In the absence of any major economic data, the key focus will shift to minutes of the FOMC’s last meeting, scheduled to release on 18th August, next Wednesday. MCX Gold October may appreciate to Rs. 46, 650 – 46,750 per 10 gram.
