Gold and silver gained in a highly volatile session after disappointing U.S. manufacturing PMI data and weakness in the dollar index.
In the international markets, gold August futures contracts settled at $2,369.30 per troy ounce up by 0.92% and silver July futures contracts settled at $30.784 per troy ounce, up by 0.75%.
The dollar index slipped to nearly two-month lows after downbeat U.S. data and the U.S. 10-year bond yields also plunged and supported gold and silver prices.
Today, the US Dollar Index, DXY, was hovering near the 104.08 mark, rising 0.06 or 0.06%
“We expect gold and silver prices to remain volatile this week ahead of the U.S. job data and European Central Bank policy meetings and gold and silver could hold its support levels of $2310 and $29.60 per troy ounce respectively,” said Manoj Kumar Jain of Prithvifinmart Commodity Research.
