The prices of gold and silver are also influenced by the international market trends and the exchange rate of the rupee against the dollar. On Monday, September 4th 2023, gold prices rose by nearly one percent in the global market as a weaker-than-expected U.S. jobs report sparked concerns of a slowdown in the economic recovery and increased the prospects of a prolonged stimulus from the Federal Reserve. Silver prices also gained more than two percent on Monday as the industrial demand for the metal supported its rally.
The U.S. Comex gold futures were trading at $1,965.60 per ounce and the silver futures were trading at $24.78 per ounce as of Tuesday morning (India time). The rupee was trading at 74.32 against the dollar on Tuesday, marginally lower than its previous close of 74.28.
Analysts advise traders to book long positions and take fresh short positions in gold and silver near resistance levels. They also suggest investors to diversify their portfolio with some exposure to gold and silver as a hedge against inflation and currency fluctuations.
