MCX Gold February futures crossed the key psychological resistance at Rs. 48000 per 10 gram. The yellow metal rallied on geopolitical risk on Russia Ukraine tension despite of strong US bond yields and firm dollar. The US warned that Russia may soon launch an attack on Ukraine which boosted buying in gold as a safe haven asset. We expect gold prices to trade up for the day with COMEX Spot gold support at $1820 and resistance at $1852 per ounce. MCX Gold February support lies at Rs. 48100 and resistance at Rs. 48700 per 10 gram.

Gold hits two month high as investors are flocking to safe haven metals amid inflation and geopolitical tensions. In Britain, annual inflation was highest since Mar 1992 while both US and Canada inflation is highest in 30 years. Treasury yields have taken a step back and the US dollar is down slightly while VIX and volatility are higher which is a perfect mix for gold to get tailwind. In terms of seasonality too, January is the best month of the year for gold over the past five-to-ten year window. Improving physical demand especially from China is high during this time of the year. We expect gold to retain the upside momentum till the end of this week before focus starts shifting on upcoming FOMC meet where market participants are expecting US Fed to announce when they still start lifting rates. $1850 is next resistance for gold in COMEX while support has now shifted to $1808. In MCX, resistance is at 48800 while support is at 47800.
