Ravindra Rao, CMT, EPAT, VP- Head Commodity Research at Kotak Securities:

“COMEX gold trades little changed near $1804/oz after a 0.1% gain yesterday. Gold is choppy near $1800/oz as support from rising virus cases, disappointing US economic data and ECB’s dovish stance is countered by rise in bond yields and stability in equity markets.

ETF investors also remained on sidelines awaiting fresh cues. Gold continues to hold near $1800/oz and buying interest may emerge at lower levels amid persisting challenges to global economy and loose monetary policy stance of some central banks”.
