MUMBAI – GOLD and SILVER contracts on the Multi Commodity Exchange of India were flat today as gains tracking the rise in benchmark COMEX contracts on Friday were offset by a stronger rupee against the US dollar.
* A stronger rupee against the US dollar makes greenback-denominated commodities, such as bullion, cheaper for Indian investors.
* Gold and silver contracts on COMEX rose on Friday as the US personal consumption expenditure index, the US Federal Reserve's preferred gauge for inflation, showed signs of easing. The US PCE index rose just 0.1% on month in November as against an expected rise of 0.2%. Year-on-year inflation eased to a 13-month low of 5.5% in November from 6.1% in October.
* Bullion prices are expected to stay range-bound today as COMEX markets are shut and due to absence of fresh triggers from the US.
* Prices of gold and silver on the benchmark COMEX contracts were unavailable as the exchange is shut today for Boxing Day. The market will resume trade on Tuesday.
* At 1658 IST, the most-active contracts of bullion were:
--February gold was flat at 54,618 rupees per 10 gm on MCX
--February gold price was unavailable on COMEX as exchange shut.
--March silver was flat at 69,002 rupees per kg on MCX
–-March silver price was unavailable on COMEX as exchange shut.
* Outlook for the evening session:
--MCX gold seen at 54,550–54,900 rupees per 10 gm
--MCX silver seen at 68,800-69,300 rupees per kg
End
US$1 = 82.65 rupees
IST, or Indian Standard Time, is five-and-a-half hours ahead of GMT
