“COMEX gold trades marginally lower near $1788 per ounce after a 0.7 per cent gain yesterday. Gold is pressurized by some hawkish Fed comments, persistent strength in US equities and continuing ETF outflows.

Gold may remain supported by increasing economic challenges and geopolitical risks however we need to see a break above $1800 per ounce for a sustained rise,” said Ravindra Rao, Head of Commodity Research at Kotak Securities
