Gold prices have recovered from lows of 48980 and now are back above 50000 level. Safe haven buying is evident after fall in equities and risk aversion rising. Currency and bond markets have been very volatile so safe traders are accumulating gold. With RBI’s policy today, there will be volatility in Indian rupee which will get reflected in MCX prices. Any dips should be bought as we may see some more upside on the back of US dollar retreat.
