In last one fortnight, Indian rupee has appreciated around ₹2 against the US dollar. This appreciation rupee nullified the rise in gold price in spot market. But at present the price of gold is a good opportunity for short term gold investors as demand for dollar is expected to pick up in New Year 2022.
"It's custom that forex traders square off their positions in US dollar and take fresh position in January post-new year celebrations. So, in second fortnight of each year, dollar dips against major global currencies and from second to third week of January, the US currency starts gaining its lost ground. So, from second week of January, rupee is expected to calm down against the US dollar that will support gold price rally in short term. So, one should buy gold at around ₹47,800 per 10 gm levels maintaining stop loss at ₹47,500 levels. In next, one month, the yellow metal may go up to ₹49,300 levels. However, if the gold price rally continues in spot market, it may go up to ₹51,000 to ₹51,500 per 10 gm levels by end of March 2022," said Anuj Gupta of IIFL Securities.
