On Tuesday, in the international markets, Gold and silver were settled slightly on a weaker note.

Both the precious metals were also settled on a weaker note in the domestic market. Director Head-Commodity & Currency Research at Prithvi Finmart, Manoj Jain, said, “Despite weakness in the dollar index gold and silver prices are struggling amid rising hopes for the COVID-19 vaccine. Gold and silver prices are stuck up between vaccine hopes and rising coronavirus cases,”

He further added, “We expect both the precious metals remain volatile amid weakness in the dollar index and rising coronavirus cases could support prices but vaccine hopes will restrict gains. At MCX, gold is having support at 50500-50330 and resistance at 50920-51050,”
Jain further said, “Silver has support at 62600-62100 levels and the resistance is placed at 63800-65400 levels”.

“We expect both sides to move in the gold and silver in today’s session,” he added.
