Gold and silver plunged last week after the dollar index posted the biggest weekly gain since February 2023. The dollar index attracted safe-haven buying after the U.S. consumer sentiment fell and inflation expectations increased for a longer term released on Friday. After the U.S. consumer sentiment data, the dollar index crossed 102.50 marks once again for the first time in the last one month amid possibilities of further interest rate hikes from the U.S. Fed in the upcoming policy meetings and U.S. debt ceiling issues. We expect gold and silver to remain highly volatile in today’s session. Gold has support at $2002-1988 while resistance is at $2028-2040. Silver has support at $23.78-23.55, while resistance is at $24.32-24.50. In INR terms gold has support at Rs 60,580-60,350, while resistance is at Rs61,240, 61,450.

The dollar index gained and crossed 102.50 marks once again after downbeat U.S. consumer sentiment data. Crude oil prices also fell amid subdued Chinese economic data that also pushed crude oil prices lower. We expect crude oil prices to remain volatile in today’s session. Crude oil has support at $69.10–68.40 and resistance at $73.88–74.40 in today’s session. In INR Crude oil has support at Rs 5,680-5,590, while resistance is at Rs5,850–5,940.
