On gold's near term outlook, Anuj Gupta, DVP- Commodities and Currencies Research, Angel Broking said,"Today, again we saw that gold has touched the lifetime high at Rs 51,833 levels and in the international market, it touched the lifetime high to $1944.50 per ounce levels. Silver also touched 8 years high of Rs 64,849 levels. Geopolitical tension between US & China and weakness in dollar supports the bullions. The dollar is weakening against all major currencies at 93.80 levels. US Bonds yields is also low which supports safe heaven demand for bullions. We expect this rally in bullion will continue and gold and silver will move further upside. Gold may test Rs 52500 levels and silver Rs 66,000 levels soon."
On MCX Gold's near term outlook, Kishore Narne, Associate Director & Head, Commodities & Currencies, Motilal Oswal Financial Services said,"We have been bullish on gold for the last couple of years and the view has played out very well, and two quarters back in Dec'19, we have revised our targets from Rs 42,000/10gms to Rs 65,000/10 gm in 18-24 months. We expect gold to keep up the momentum with occasional corrections, and we suggest investors to use every dip to keep buying gold over medium to long term targets of Rs 65,000".
