Gold prices traded lacklustre in early trade in the domestic futures market on Wednesday (June 7) following weak global cues. Gold prices traded in a range in global markets as investors remain cautious ahead of the US Fed interest rate decision next week. The weakness of the dollar index also made gold less expensive for buyers holding other currencies.

Gold and silver settled on a positive note in the international markets in the previous session. Domestic markets also saw the yellow metal rise. Gold and silver gained as investors rushed to safe-haven assets after escalating Russia-Ukraine tensions.

Next week's US Federal interest rate decision is a key factor that will influence the yellow metal prices. "Ahead of the Fed meeting next week, the May US consumer price report due on June 13 will provide investors more clarity about the health of the world's largest economy following recent mixed economic data and dovish remarks from Fed officials," reported Reuters.

MX Gold August futures contract were 0.08 per cent down at 59,935 per 10 gram around 9:30 am.

Brokerage firms and analysts expect the yellow metal to trade volatile for the session.

Manoj Kumar Jain of Prithvifinmart Commodity Research expects gold and silver prices to remain volatile today and could hold their support level of $1958 and $23.20 per troy ounce, respectively.

Rahul Kalantri, VP of Commodities at Mehta Equities pointed out gold has support at $1,952-1,940 while resistance is at $1,974-1,986. Silver has support at $23.35-23.20, while resistance is at $23.71-23.85.
