In the spot market it touched the $1974.30 levels which was 17 month’s high levels. Safe haven demand due to war between Russia and Ukraine and crude oil prices touching $105 levels provide support to yellow metals.For intraday traders we are recommending buy gold around 50800 to 50900 levels with the stoploss of 50450 for the target of 51800 – 52000 levels. Again spot gold may test $1950 to $1980 levels soon.

Gold price witnessed an up move of almost $70 in a day and later eased from top erasing most of the gains. Russia-Ukraine tensions continue to play a major factor in geopolitical risk; Russia “officially” invaded Ukraine; continuous updates regarding the strikes and attacks increased distress in the market. On top of that, US & allies also responded with more sanctions to punish Russia via “economic damage”. Although, markets were expecting stricter sanctions which includes the removal of Russia from the SWIFT financial messaging system. On the other hand, after this chaos witnessed in the 1st half of the session, U.S. reported a better than expected GDP which shifted the market’s focus towards the important Fed’s policy meet scheduled next month. Few fed officials in their speech mentioned the risk of geo-political tensions which could hamper the monetary policy decision although investors have been discounting an aggressive rate hike action. Cautious approach is advised as further updates in the geo-political tensions could further increase volatility in the market. Broader trend on COMEX could be in the range of $1900-1940 and on domestic front prices could hover in the range of Rs 50,500- 51,600.

COMEX gold trades modestly lower near $1915/oz retreating further from Sept.2020 highs set in previous session. Gold has come off the highs as risk sentiment stabilized as market players assessed impact of sanctions by US and other western countries in response to Russia’s attack on Ukraine. Retreat in crude oil and other commodity prices from recent highs also eased gold’s appeal as an inflation hedge. Gold has come off the highs however with prospect of increased tensions between Russia and world leaders, risk sentiment may remain weak and this may keep gold supported.
