In the month of August, gold prices have already declined by more than 2% and looks like the trend may remain bearish. Gold holdings at the SPDR gold trust, the world’s largest ETF stay near the 800 MT, almost flat for past many weeks. In the meanwhile, global equities trade higher with gains of more than 1% in a single week is further pulling gold prices lower and likely that the same trend may continue in the next week. Another major factor that is pulling gold lower is the anticipated cues from Jackson Hole economic symposium which is expected to focus on an important economic issue that faces the US and world economies. We believe looking at the recent economic development, especially the economic data coming in better than expected from the US, it might have incessant negative pressure on gold prices. Besides, the euro and gold which generally shaped by the USD performance are likely to move along and any further decline in the euro currency or strong appreciation in the USD would weaken gold prices. Looking at the above scenario, the commodity may remain depressed in the near term wherein we suggest selling from higher levels.
Gold once again had a very shallow day of trade with the commodity trading in a small range for most part of the day before closing 0.15% lower to $1283 per ounce mark for active December expiry at Comex.

In India, moderate disconnect continued as local MCX gold prices for October expiry closed lower by 0.4% to Rs 27780 per 10 /Gms. It is likely that Bullion may open marginally positive today, as they regain some of the additional lost ground yesterday meanwhile Gold Comex too trades marginally higher in early Asian trade.
