The general trend for gold would tend to be bullish for gold which fits nicely with present price action,” said Manoj Dalmia, founder and director-Proficient Equities Limited.
“The tug of war between bulls and bears is keeping gold range bound zone. We expect gold to show some upward move this week. The higher US bond yields and stronger dollar pushed gold prices lower yesterday,” said Ravi Singh, vice president, ShareIndia.
Silver trading low

“As per technical charts overall structures of gold and silver are positive and strong. Momentum indicator RSI is also indicating the same on daily charts. So traders are advised to create fresh longs in small dips near given support levels,” added Khare.
