U.S. gold futures dipped 0.2 per cent to $1,804.80.Concerns around global growth helped the dollar start the week just off a 20-year high against its peers, making safe-haven gold less attractive for buyers holding other currencies.Although seen as an inflation hedge, gold is sensitive to rising U.S. short-term interest rates and bond yields, which raise the opportunity cost of holding bullion.Analyst View:Ravi Singh, Vice-President and Head of Research, ShareIndia: “Gold may witness some more correction to trade near the levels of Rs 49,500 in coming weeks. Higher inflation and geopolitical volatility are supporting gold prices, however, various physical tightening measures by central banks to curb inflation and stronger dollar are pushing gold to lower levels. Investors may go long in gold around Rs 49,500 – Rs 50,000 levels for long term gains.He suggested, “Buy Zone above – Rs 50,100 for the target of Rs 50,400. Sell Zone below – Rs 49,800 for the target of Rs 49,500.”Amit Khare, AVP – Research Commodities, Ganganagar Commodity Ltd: “As per technical chart, gold and silver are trading at highly oversold zone. Anytime we can see a huge short covering rally. Momentum indicator RSI also cited the same in hourly as well as daily chart.
