The gold COMEX closed at $2,375.10, reflecting an increase of $6.10 or 0.26%. Throughout the trading session, the highest price reached was $2,378.30, while the lowest point was $2,370.60. The opening price for the day was $2,373.80, indicating a generally positive movement in gold prices.

"Gold prices surged over 1% on Thursday, reaching their highest level in two weeks, fueled by indications of economic slowdown in the US prompting expectations of Federal Reserve interest rate cuts this year. Recent data showing a decline in jobless claims suggested a stable labor market, but soft retail sales and ongoing economic lethargy in the second quarter bolstered bets on monetary easing. With markets pricing in a significant probability of a Fed rate cut in September, alongside safe-haven demand driven by global uncertainties and central bank buying, gold maintained its rally from March to May, peaking at record highs on May 20," says Prathamesh Mallya, DVP Research, Non-Agro Commodities & Currency, Angel One.

The Nifty's weekly settlement started cautiously due to a lack of major global triggers but gained bullish momentum, closing at 23,567, up 0.22%. The broader market maintained a bullish stance with positive advance-decline ratios. Despite muted price action and a narrow-bodied candlestick on the daily chart, Nifty is expected to consolidate until decisive triggers emerge. Strong support is seen at 23,450-23,400 and 23,300-23,200, while 23,650-23,700 remains challenging for the Bulls. Diverse sector participation is driving positive sentiment, emphasizing a stock-centric approach. Monitoring global indices is crucial as they will likely influence the initial market tone, says Sameet Chavan, Head Research, Technical and Derivative - Angel One.
