Gold Rate Today: Gold prices in India steady despite dollar uptick. Check price of yellow metal in Delhi, Ahmedabad, and other Indian cities
MCX Gold traded in the green in the opening trade on Friday despite weakness in the international prices. The domestic yellow metal prices were up, aided by the uptick in greenback which made dollar-priced commodities expensive.
The MCX October gold futures were trading up by Rs 106 or 0.18% from the Thursday closing price at Rs 58,694 per 10 gram on the MCX while the December Silver futures were trading at Rs 71,433 per kg, higher by Rs 451 or 0.64%.
Dollar Index (DXY) crossed the 105 mark on Thursday against the basket of six top currencies taking sheen away from the yellow metal.
On Comex, gold futures were trading at $1,930 per troy ounce on Friday, down by $1.70 or 0.09% while Silver futures were at $23.030, lower by $0.151 or 0.650%.
The rates were down as the dollar movement has an inverse relation with the price movement in gold.

His advice to traders is to make fresh buy positions in gold and silver futures near the given support level at Rs 58,500-58,300 while keeping the stop loss near the support levels and booking profit near the resistance of Rs 58,800-59,000.Analyst Neha Qureshi, Senior Technical & Derivative Analyst, Anand Rathi Commodities & Currencies said that the daily chart of October gold futures suggests that the yellow metal was trading below the 50 and 100-day Exponential Moving Averages (EMA) while retaining the crucial Rs 58,300 level.
“If it does break below this level, we can expect further downward movement. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicator is showing a pattern of lower highs, which indicates a potential move to the downside,” she said.
She sees resistance at Rs 59,000-59,400 while support at Rs 58,275-57,900.
