Gold has shown relative strength against rising US dollar and Treasuries. The US Dollar continues to trade near its highest level of 2002 and it seems gold is becoming immune to Fed’s hawkish stance. After strong recovery from Wednesday’s fall, gold continues to attract buyers around $1660-1650. Historically also after every Fed rate hike, gold has seen a relief rally and no fresh low after the event indicates gold is prime to move up. Indian rupee will also support gold in MCX and we would recommend gold to dip around 49700-49600 for long position intraday with stoploss of 49400 and expected target of 50100.

Many central banks raised their interest rates this week, following the U.S. Federal Reserve in the fight against inflation, which has been sending shockwaves through financial markets and the economy.

COMEX gold trades marginally lower near $1678/oz weighed down by firmness in the US dollar and bond yields. The US 10-year yield has jumped to 2011 high in reaction to Fed’s aggressive monetary tightening stance however spread between 2-year and 10-year yield has narrowed. The US dollar is still near its 2002 high but has lost some momentum following Bank of Japan’s intervention in the currency market. Gold has weathered the central bank decisions and managed to hold above recent lows indicating that dip buyers have emerged however a sustained rise is unlikely until the US dollar corrects significantly.
