“COMEX gold trades 0.4 per cent lower near $1791/oz after a 1.3 per cent decline yesterday. Gold is pressurized by recovery in US dollar index from 3-week low, surge in US 10-year bond yield to Feb.2020 high, continuing ETF outflows and sharp correction in platinum price. Gold may remain under pressure unless price rescales $1800/oz level or we see a sharp correction in US bond yields.” said Ravindra Rao, VP- Head Commodity Research at Kotak Securities.

Meanwhile, the rupee settled lower by five paise against the US dollar at 72.74 (provisional) amid muted domestic equities. Brent crude futures, the global oil benchmark, rose 0.55 per cent to $ 58.78 per barrel. Brent crude futures, the global oil benchmark, climbed 0.60 per cent to $ 63.73 per barrel.
