Globally, gold prices rose as growing concerns about escalating price pressures increased the metal’s appeal as an inflation hedge and helped cushion pressure from higher US Treasury yields after a better-than-expected jobs report. Spot gold rose 0.2 percent to $1,810.38 an ounce, close to its nearly a week high hit last Friday, while US gold futures rose 0.2 percent to $1,812.10 .

Analyst view:

Ravi Singh, Vice President and Head of Research, ShareIndia: “Gold prices in the MCX showed profit booking and moved in a tight range. Stronger dollar and US Treasury yields are supporting gold prices. The Federal Reserve’s rate hike decision and higher inflation are the key factors driving gold prices.”

He suggested: “Buy zone above – Rs 48,100 for target of Rs 48,400. Sell ​​zone below – Rs 47,900 for target of Rs 47,700.”
