Tejas Anil Shigrekar, senior technical analyst (commodities and currencies) at Angel One, said, “The weekend session may contribute to the commodity market’s profit booking. The beginning of May month showed downward pressure for all commodities, which was extended in June month when gold on MCX suffered a significant sell-off, closing at Rs 58,196 per ten grammes, a drop of more than 10 per cent, or Rs 6,250.”
He added that silver fell 13.88 per cent (Rs 10,950) and concluded at Rs 67,950 per kg. In the international spot market, gold on Friday closed at $1925 per ounce, down 8 per cent, while silver fell 16 per cent to $22.30 per ounce. The last week of April saw the gathering of economic data, which influenced the Dollar Index starting on May 1.
“Other headwinds erupted on June 14 after the US Federal Reserve paused interest rates after ten consecutive increases. A hawkish outlook by major central banks acts as a headwind for the commodity. Gold and silver, on the other hand, are near multi-month lows,” Shigrekar said.
