In the New York-based bullion market (COMEX), the gold prices were trading marginally down at 1,765.7 an ounce, while silver was also trading lower at $21.3 an ounce.

Ravindra Rao, head (commodity research) at Kotak Securities, said, “COMEX gold trades flat for the second straight session as bulls have failed in keeping it above the $1,780/oz (ounce) level. And, $1,780/oz has become an important resistance level. In yesterday’s (Wednesday) session, gold ended near $1776/oz, a fall by 0.06 per cent compared to the previous closing.”

He, however, MCX gold active contract gained by 0.60 per cent amid weak rupee against the US Dollar. Fears of geopolitical escalation have faded after Poland’s president dismissed that missile came from Russia and that it was probably a stray Ukrainian defence projectile.

“Gold is still supported by expectation of a slower pace of rate hikes by Fed in their upcoming meeting amid softening inflation numbers. On the price action front we maintain our view that $1780/oz would act as an immediate resistance. If the bulls succeed in taking out $1780/oz on closing, the rally might extend till $1806/oz which is a strong 252 DMA resistance,” Rao said.
