Silver rates today have immediate support placed at $22.80 levels in international market whereas it has support placed at 70,000 levels on MCX.

Gold rates today opened sideways amid high bets of interest rate pause in Reserve Bank of India (RBI) policy meeting, scheduled from 6th to 8th June 2023. MCX Gold price today opened higher at 59,869 per 10 gm but soon came under profit booking pressure and hit intraday low of 59,813 levels. In international market, gold price around $1,959 levels with an intraday loss of around 0.10 per cent.

Silver rate today opened lower at 71,971 per kg levels on MCX and went on to hit intraday low of 71,951 levels within few minutes of commodity market's opening bell today. In international market, silver price is oscillating around $23.57 per ounce levels with an intraday gain of around 0.25 per cent.

On why gold and silver rate today are trading sideways, Anuj Gupta, Vice President — Research at IIFL Securities said, “Gold rates today are trading sideways as investors are awaiting clear picture on interest rate regime. As RBI policy meeting has begun today, bets are quite high on interest rate pause. Other reason for bullion being sideways is rising uncertainty on US Fed's rate hike jitters as US dollar is flirting with its two months higher levels."

On gold prices retrace from record highs, Navneet Damani, Senior VP – Commodity Research at Motilal Oswal said, “Gold prices edged lower on the back of positive economic data points, higher US Dollar and Yields, offsetting support from the prospects that the Federal Reserve would pause its rate hikes this month. Dollar index was seen closing above the 104 mark in the previous session; while US 10Y yields is hovering above 3.7 per cent, weighing on safe haven assets. US Jobs market continues to remain tight as the JOLTS, ADP private payroll and the non-farm, all were reported better than expectations."

On US Fed rate hike, Motilal Oswal expert said, “According to CME Fed- watch tool, probability for a pause in around 75 per cent and 25 per cent for a 25 bps rate hike in the June Fed meeting. Physical gold demand slowed in India last week as a recovery in domestic prices prompted buyers to postpone purchases, while weakening of the Chinese currency underpinned premiums in the top consumer."
