Daily Commodity/ MCX News Letter

Gold:-

The 50-day MA remains above the 200-day MA, sustaining the golden-cross that occurred late last week. When the 50-day moves above the 200-day moving average it is typically interpreted as a rather bullish event hence the name. Gold is proving quite resilient today in the face of a rebounding stock market. Stocks were lifted by dovish Fed Speak but heightened political and geopolitical risks are likely to continue underpinning the yellow metal. St. Louis Fed President James Bullard acknowledged that both growth and inflation data have been pretty soft of late. FOMC’s contemplated policy rate path is overly aggressive relative to actual incoming data on U.S. macroeconomic performance said Bullard. So what is the Fed to do at the June 13-14 FOMC meeting given still relatively buoyant stocks and the worsening risk that the economy stumbles in the face of the considerable headwinds now facing President Trump's fiscal policy agenda Rate hike expectations have ebbed recently but there's still several weeks to go before the FOMC convenes.

Silver:-

Silver price attempted to break the key support 37940 but it managed to hold above it which keeps the bullish trend scenario valid for the upcoming period which targets testing 40450 areas initially.

Expected trading ranges for week are between 37940 supports and 39700 resistances.

Expected trading ranges for weekly are between 2960 supports and 3320 resistances.
