Expert Analysis of Gold and Silver Prices

According to the ICICI Direct Daily Commodity Report, "Gold is expected to hold the key support near USD 2925 and move higher towards USD 2960 amid increasing safe haven demand. Meanwhile, weakness in US Treasury yields would also provide support to the bullion. Escalating trade tension would further increase the flows into ETFs and increase investment demand. Meanwhile, focus will remain on key economic numbers from the US, which could bring further volatility in price. Gold price is likely to hold the key support near USD 2925 and move towards USD 2960. Unwinding of OI at ATM calls indicates an upward movement. Higher concentration of OI in the 2950 call strike could provide some resistance, but a move above USD 2950 could bring a short covering rally."
