On the Multi-Commodity Exchange (MCX), December gold contracts were trading 0.13 percent higher at Rs 46,015 per 10 grams at 0930 hours. December silver futures were trading 0.17 percent higher at Rs 60,568 a kilogram.
Gold and silver plunged on Tuesday amid record gains in the U.S. benchmark 10-year bond yields and the dollar index. Both the precious metals settled on a weaker note in the international markets.
Gold December futures contract settled at $1737.50 per troy ounce, and silver December futures contract were settled at $22.38 per troy ounce. Both the precious metals were also settled on a weaker note in the domestic markets.
Gold and silver prices slipped again on Tuesday after the dollar index reached to 10-month highs and benchmark 10-year bond yields in the U.S. also reached 3-month highs, suggest experts.
“China's crackdown and weakness in the rupee supported gold and silver prices at lower levels. After the Evergrande debt crisis, power crunch in China could halt industrial activities in coming days and could support precious metal prices,” Manoj Kumar Jain, Director, Head-Commodity & Currency Research, Prithvifinmart Commodity Research, said.
“We expect both the precious metals to remain volatile in today’s session amid very high volatility in the dollar index. At MCX, Gold has support at 45800-45660 and resistance at 46100-46220; silver has support at 60100-59500 and resistance at 60900-61400 levels,” he said.
Jain suggests buying in the December gold futures contract on dips around 45800 with a stop loss of 45660, and a target of 46200.

COMEX gold trades little changed near $1736/oz after a 0.8% decline yesterday when it tested a 7-week low. Weighing on the gold price is firmness in US dollar, increased expectations of Fed’s monetary tightening, and continuing ETF outflows.
However, supporting prices are increasing challenges to the global economy amid rising inflationary pressure, concerns about the health of the Chinese economy and mixed economic data from major economies, and political wrangling over the US debt ceiling limit.
Gold has tested fresh lows indicating weaker sentiment however global risk aversion may keep a floor to prices.
