Silver, another precious metal remained flat on Tuesday. Silver futures were down by 0.09 per cent to Rs 61,213 for 100 grams.
The yellow metal prices were flat in the international market. The firmer dollar and US Treasury yield weighed on gold’s appeal in the global market. Spot gold eased at $1,778.79 per ounce by 0130 GMT while US gold futures were flat at $1,780.00, according to Reuters.
Comex gold prices declined 0.16 per cent on Monday amid elevated US treasury yields and stronger dollar index. The dollar index surged 0.34 per cent on Monday amid rising expectations that the US Federal Reserve could reduce its asset purchases at a faster pace and may quickly raise interest rates in the next year amid signs of higher inflation. The sudden rise in dollar index has made bullion more expensive for holders of other currencies. US benchmark 10 year treasury yields rose to 1.39, increasing the opportunity cost of holding non yielding bullion.
MCX gold prices are likely to trade in a range of Rs 47,800 to Rs 48,200 levels with a mixed bias on the back of rise in risk appetite in the US markets and elevated US treasury yields. However, a sharp downside may be prevented on weakness in rupee against dollar, said ICICI Direct Research in a note.
