Pranav Mer, Vice President at JM Financial Services, said a strong US dollar, boosted by Donald Trump’s election win, has pressured gold and other commodities. “The focus now shifts to the Federal Reserve’s upcoming policy and economic data,” he added. Analysts see further declines if gold breaks key support levels. However, if prices hold, gold may resume its upward trend. Resistance on MCX stands at Rs 78,000, with $2,755 as a key international level.
Gold prices fluctuated sharply between Rs 78,500 and Rs 77,500 per 10 grams.
