“The outlook for MCX Gold (December) suggests a bullish scenario as the price has tested the upward trend line twice and is nearing a potential third test. If it holds support at this trend line, which aligns with the bottom band of the Bollinger Bands, it could signal further upward movement. Therefore, it is recommended to consider going long, provided the price maintains support at these critical levels,” said Sriram Iyer, Senior Research Analyst at Reliance Securities.

Concerns over the growing US budget deficit and a pullback in the US 10-year Treasury yield from 4.25%, its highest level since late July, helped gold prices rebound to $2,760.90 per ounce on Friday before closing at $2,754.60,” said Kaynat Chainwala, Assistant Vice President of Commodity Research at Kotak Securities.
