MUMBAI – GOLD contracts on the Multi Commodity Exchange of India and COMEX were flat today due to a lack of fresh triggers in the international markets.
* Lacklustre trading volumes due to the holiday season in the US, UK and other countries kept bullion prices in a tight range this week.
* "After the Christmas holidays, market traders are silent ahead of the New Year holidays, and waiting for fresh fundamentals to give a directional move to precious metal prices," said Manoj Jain, research head at Prithvi Finmart.
* Investors and market participants are now eyeing the US weekly jobless claims data, which is due for release later today. According to a poll by Dow Jones, the unemployment claims in the US are expected to rise to 223,000 for the week ended Friday from 216,000 in the week ended Dec 17.
* SILVER contracts on the MCX and COMEX were trading higher today as a softer dollar against a basket of major currencies boosted the demand for the precious metal.
* At 1700 IST, the most-active contracts of bullion were:
--February gold was flat at 54,756 rupees per 10 gm on MCX
--February gold was flat at $1,812.8 an ounce on COMEX
--March silver was up 0.3% at 69,184 rupees per kg on MCX
–-March silver was up 0.1% at $24.03 an ounce on COMEX
* Outlook for the evening session:
--MCX gold seen at 54,450–55,100 rupees per 10 gm
--COMEX gold seen at $1,808–$1,830 an ounce
--MCX silver seen at 68,050-69,970 rupees per kg
--COMEX silver seen at $23.79-$24.23 an ounce
End
US$1 = 82.79 rupees
