“Spot gold continued to hover above the $1800 level as lowering bets on early tapering of the expansionary monetary policy by US kept the prices elevated. Gold traded lower in the earlier week after the minutes of the US Federal Reserve policy meet held in July’21 hinted towards a tighter economic policy in the coming months which clouded the outlook for the bullion metals. However, the recent outbreaks of the new variant raised expectations of a delay by the US Central bank in withdrawing the stimulus measures in order to support their economy. Markets might remain cautious ahead of the key US economic data scheduled during the week for cues on FED’s stance in the months ahead,” Mallya added.
