MUMBAI – Gold contracts were trading flat on the Multi Commodity Exchange of India, tracking those on the COMEX. Prices on COMEX were flat ahead of US unemployment claims data that will be released later today.
* "Unemployment claims are expected to rise only marginally in the US from the previous week, which will be supportive for GOLD," said Tapan Patel, senior analyst at HDFC Securities.
* US Federal Open Market Committee member Christopher Waller will also speak at an online event later today about the US economy.
