Mcx Gold commodity market was trading good slide in yesterday trade and likely that weakness would continue today following better equity movement in Asia today. However, note that losses especially in gold might remain minimal today as there are no major economic cues to be watched from the US whereas the Greenback has fallen at a good rate and could provide some support to the yellow metal. There are no major changes seen over physical demand side or either the ETF side though it would not be surprising for us if we see some short-covering post the commodity slipped down to fresh 8 month lows in the week. We maintain selling view for small targets today.
Gold continued its downward spiral during the week with the metal trading lower by almost all of the day before managing modest pullback toward the end of the day.
