What is the support and resistance level in gold
Vice President, JM Financial Services (EBG – Commodity & Currency Research)Pranav Mer said, “Despite considerable volatility in the commodity basket, gold futures are stuck in a range as traders and investors await US GDP data on Thursday and important PCE inflation data on Friday. PCE inflation data in the US stands for Personal Consumption Expenditures Price Index, which indicates the burden on the everyday household expenses of the common consumer there. He hopes that both these important figures may give some indication of the upcoming stance of the US Federal Reserve in terms of interest rates.
Pranav Mer said that the current prices of Fed Fund futures are still based on the fact that there can be a 65 percent chance of a rate cut in September. He said that according to the charts, gold currently has strong support between Rs 71,020 and Rs 70,740, while the resistance level on the upside is at Rs 71,760 to Rs 71,930.
