“COMEX gold trades marginally higher near $1810/oz after a 0.1 per cent decline yesterday. Supporting gold price is Fed’s support for loose monetary policy stance and retreat in US bond yields from recent high. However, weighing on price is continuing ETF outflows, some better than expected US economic data and improving virus situation. Gold is holding above $1800/oz and Fed’s loose monetary policy stance may support price however a sharp rise is unlikely until US bond yields correct sharply,” said Ravindra Rao, VP- Head Commodity Research at Kotak Securities.
