Gold prices traded with significant losses in early deals in the domestic futures market on Tuesday (May 23) amid weak global cues as investors focused on the US debt ceiling talks.
Gold prices were subdued in the international markets as the debt ceiling talks on Monday failed to conclude on a positive note.
As reported by Reuters, "Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy could not reach an agreement on Monday (May 22) on how to raise the US government's $31.4 trillion debt ceiling with just 10 days before a possible default that could sink the US economy, but pledged to keep talking."
Moreover, the dollar's rise also weighed on gold prices. As per media reports, the US dollar rose to a six-month high level against the Japanese yen on expectations that interest rates will stay higher for an extended period. A higher dollar makes gold less affordable for overseas buyers and hits its demand.
MCX Gold June 5 futures traded 0.60 per cent lower at ₹59,900 per 10 gram around 9:15 am. It had closed 0.19 per cent lower at ₹60,262 per 10 gram in the previous session.
Manoj Kumar Jain of Prithvifinmart Commodity Research expects gold and silver prices to remain volatile this week amid US debt negotiations and volatility in the dollar index. He believes gold could face steep resistance at higher levels.
"Gold has support at $1,964-1,950, while resistance at $1,988-2,004 per troy ounce. Silver has support at $23.55-23.20, while resistance is at $24.20-24.50 per troy ounce," said Jain.
