Gold slips, Dollar gains

Gold prices fell sharply by Rs 1,000 to Rs 98,400 per 10 grams in the national capital on Monday, amid a weak global trend and optimism surrounding a possible US-China trade agreement, according to media reports citing the All India Sarafa Association.

“Gold prices continued to decline as easing US-China trade tensions boosted investors’ risk appetite, reducing demand for safe-haven assets like bullion while a stronger dollar added downward pressure,” said Chintan Mehta, Chief Executive Officer of Abans Financial Services, as quoted in media reports.

“Rising geopolitical tensions could limit gold’s downside. As war risks escalate and new conflicts emerge, investors are likely to seek refuge in gold.”

    Silver Price Forecast – Silver Continues to Look Sideways Overall

    The silver market was rather quiet during the early hours on Wednesday as we continue to see a lot of choppiness.

    I think this is a scenario where you have to be somewhat hesitant to buy silver, and I think really what we are looking at is a situation where we are just simply consolidating overall. I believe that the $28.75 level is significant support, just as the $31 level is significant resistance.

    Silver falls but stays the same

    The silver market has been somewhat sideways over the last few weeks, but the Wednesday session could provide enough information to get people moving again.

    Silver fell in the early hours of Wednesday as we have tested the crucial $33 level again. This is an area that of course has been like a magnet for price for some time.

    Talks between the United States and China are seemingly a thing now, and that, of course, will help the idea of industrial demand for silver, but it takes away that precious metal trade as well.

    Standoff continues for Congo copper mines

    The $1.4 billion bid made by the Chinese defence and industrial giant in June stalled after Congo state miner Gecamines submitted its own unsolicited bid for the Chemaf assets, deepening a standoff that has been complicated by U.S. officials lobbying against China’s grip on the mineral-rich central African Copperbelt.

    Norinco has now proposed that the Democratic Republic of the Congo increase its interest in Chemaf’s Mutoshi and Etoile mines to as much as 15% from 5% currently – at no additional cost – subject to negotiations, said the sources, who asked to remain anonymous.
