Ahmedabad, 18 may: Gold and silver ended flat on Wednesday. Gold prices came under pressure for a second day below the psychological $2,000 mark in view of a firm US dollar and treasury yields. The US Dollar has been in favor due to favorable US data and while the debt-ceiling negotiations continue in Washington. However, there was some improvement in optimism over the possibility of an agreement on the US debt ceiling as US President Joe Biden expressed confidence an agreement will be reached. We expect gold and silver to remain volatile in today’s session. Gold has support at $1980-1965 while resistance is at $2005-2015. Silver has support at $23.55-23.42, while resistance is at $24.05-24.22. In INR terms gold has support at Rs 59,860-59,680, while resistance is at Rs60,420, 60,590. Silver has support at Rs72,020-71,550, while resistance is at Rs73,150–73,620.

CRUDE OIL: support Rs 5,920-5,840, resistance  Rs. 6,135–6,220

Crude oil prices jumped almost 3% on Wednesday over hopes that the US would resolve its debt-ceiling impasse, which triggered broad gains in financial markets, offsetting a largely bearish US stockpile report. Crude oil prices jumped after US President Joe Biden expressed confidence that they will avoid a catastrophic default. On the other hand, upside was capped due to a jump in US crude inventories, which expanded by 5 million barrels last week, the biggest gain since mid-February. Oil is still lower for the year as monetary tightening in the US and China’s lackluster economic growth weigh on the demand outlook, while supply has remained robust. We expect crude oil prices to remain volatile in today’s session. Crude oil has support at $71.85–71.10 and resistance at $73.40–74.10 in today’s session. In INR Crude oil has support at Rs 5,920-5,840, while resistance is at Rs6,135–6,220.

USD-INR: support at 82.22-82.05 resistance at 82.62-82.80

The USDINR 29 May futures contract traded in a tight range. As per the daily technical chart, we observed that the pair is trading above its trend-line support level of 82.22 and RSI is fetching above 50 levels. The pair is having support at 82.22-82.05 while resistance is placed at 82.62-82.80. If the pair continues to sustain above 82.4500 it could extend its gain towards 82.62-82.80.
