MARKET RECAP

 

Spot Gold prices gained marginally on Thursday after continuously facing pressure this week from the strong dollar. However, the greenback weakened yesterday helping the yellow metal prices to gain. Risk appetite in the financial markets weakened the low-yielding dollar as investors flocked towards high yielding and riskier investments.

 

 

OUTLOOK

 

The US is expected to announce economic data on retail sales and consumer sentiment. Commodity prices will take cues from these data announcements.


We expect the dollar to remain weakened on the back of risk appetite in the financial markets. This may help the gold prices to gain.
