Rahul Kalantri, VP of Commodities, Mehta Equities said, "Gold and silver witnessed high price volatility and extended their fall in early trading sessions but recovered from their lows after downbeat U.S. JOLTS job openings data. The decline in the new job openings pushed the dollar index and the U.S. 10-year bond yields lower and supported gold and silver prices. Gold and silver prices also gained amid short covering and bargain buying at lower levels ahead of the U.S. job data. The un-inverted U.S. yield curve also shows that the U.S. economy is healthier and avoiding recession which has been supporting precious metals prices."
Looking ahead, Kalantri added that gold has support at $2478-2461 while resistance is at $2512-2527. Silver has support at $28.10-27.90 while resistance is at 28.60-28.82.
