FUNDAMENTALS FOR THE DAY
- No first-tier US data today. Session is technically driven — level-trading regime typical of a quiet mid-summer tape.
- Forward flag — FOMC Minutes (23:30 IST, 08-Aug): Hot (hawkish) read → dollar bounce, gold pressured toward 1,47,000; Soft (dovish) read → gold extends above 1,50,000.
- Forward flag — Initial Jobless Claims (18:00 IST, 09-Aug): Higher claims reinforce cut narrative, bullion supportive; lower claims trim gold rally.
- Forward flag — US CPI (14-Aug next week): The macro pivot — build/reduce risk into it.
YESTERDAY — WHAT HAPPENED & WHY
Gold closed at weekly highs on a soft-dollar bounce — the dollar index printed its weakest weekly close since April after June NFP badly missed (57K vs 110K expected), pushing Sept hike odds from 67% to 50%. Silver held firm near the top of its range in sympathy. Metals remain in a level-trading month with resistance clustered at $4,225–4,250, then the 200-DMA at $4,402; sustained central-bank buying (WGC +41t in May) keeps the downside cushioned.
TREND
- Trend for the day: Buy-on-dips bias while gold holds above 1,47,800 and silver above 2,22,000.
- Trend for the week: Constructive but range-bound; direction hinges on FOMC Minutes and next-week CPI.
DESK VIEW
- Soft-dollar momentum keeps the path of least resistance higher into the weekend close.
- Respect the $4,315–4,320 COMEX shelf — a clean break opens fresh MCX highs above 1,50,000.
- Central-bank demand and repriced rate expectations underpin dips; favour buying weakness over chasing strength.
- Silver leads on strength but whips harder on reversals — honour tight jobbing stops.
- Trim exposure before FOMC Minutes next session; event risk can override technicals quickly.
