Gold prices edged lower on Monday tracking the muted trends in the international market. On the Multi-Commodity Exchange (MCX), the gold futures dropped 0.21% to Rs 48,890 for 10 grams at 1610 hours IST. July silver futures were down too. The metal plunged 0.66% to Rs 71,069 for a kilogram on June 7.
In the international market, gold prices fell on Monday as an uptick in the dollar dented the metal?s appeal. Spot gold was down 0.2% at $1,886.76 per ounce as of 0308 GMT, after rising more than 1% in the previous session. US gold futures eased 0.1% to $1,889.60 per ounce. The dollar index rose 0.1% against its rivals, making gold more expensive for holders of other currencies.
?Gold saw a lot of volatility last week — first falling more than $40 and then climbing back up towards the $1,900 an ounce level. And the bull trend is far from over. The yellow metal is extremely sensitive to the Federal Reserve?s taper talk, the US dollar, and the US Treasury yields. Any spike in these drivers leads to lower gold, while a reversal triggers another gold rally,? said Amit Khare, AVP- research commodities, Ganganagar Commodities Limited.

?International spot gold and silver rebounded on Friday after US nonfarm payrolls did not rise as much as expected, although bullion was still on course to register its biggest weekly decline since March. US nonfarm payrolls increased by 559,000 last month versus 650,000 forecast in a Reuters poll, while new orders for US-made goods fell more than expected in April. The US Dollar gave up most of its gains, while benchmark 10-year Treasury yields also moved lower and also lent support,? Sriram Iyer, senior research analyst at Reliance Securities said.
?According to data from CFTC, gold speculators raised their net longs by 2,944 contracts to 129,846 in the week to June 01, while silver speculators cut their net longs by 2,766 contracts to 42,529 in the week to June 1,? he mentioned.
