At the international level, gold prices were stable after they had slipped during the previous session marginally.

Experts feel that due to the cautious approach of major financial institutions the world over, gold prices prices are likely to remain stable in the global markets.

Commenting on gold trends, head of commodity research at Kotak Securities Ravindra Rao said, “COMEX gold trades marginally higher near $1,800 per ounce after a 1.9 per cent decline in previous session. Gold corrected sharply from recent highs amid gains in US dollar, higher bond yields and sharp rise in Chinese equities. However, supporting price is geopolitical tensions, persisting virus risks and uneven global economic recovery and cautious stance of major central banks. Gold has come off recent highs amid dollar gains however growth worries and cautious tone of central banks may continue to support prices.”
