Gold is trading marginally lower during the European trade session. Traders are still watching China’s military exercises near Taiwan and any aggression from China might help gold in the short run. Crude hit 4.5 month low which might cool off inflation which is negative news for gold. The US dollar and yields are trading flat so we are not expecting any big move today. Technically, October gold futures bears still have the overall near-term technical advantage. Above $1850-$1865 can we see gold bulls taking charge. Right now gold is expected to trade weak but in MCX because of the weak rupee, gold will find some footing and is not looking as negative as in COMEX. In MCX, gold still looks positive until it is above 51200. On the upside, 52500 is the resistance.
