Gold and silver prices have fallen more than a per cent compared to a week back as no new triggers around the globe. However, investors are waiting for the FOMC meeting, plus the Bank of England is likely to keep the interest rate unchanged.
“This week, the BoE is expected to hold the interest rates, the FED is expected to lower rates, and the BOJ must make a difficult decision either to raise rates or wait. The US Dollar Index, which is once again in the crucial region at the 107 handle, is the main focus this week. Gold has been taking support at the uptrend line for the past month,” said Renisha Chainani, Head of Research at Augmont – Gold For All. “If the same trend is to be followed, Gold will rebound from current levels of Rs 77100 towards Rs 79000 again. If prices sustain below Rs 77100, the next target is Rs 75000.”
