Gold prices in the international market fell below $1,700 an ounce yesterday, amid expectations that the US Federal Reserve will maintain its aggressive policy of raising interest rates. Falling safe haven demand and a stronger US dollar weighed on sentiment as well. With that said, investors are eagerly awaiting the key US job numbers, due later today to get direction for the US economy. In the local futures market, prices fell to their lowest level in one month, but the weak Indian rupee provided downside support. On the trading side, domestic gold prices are likely to remain strong. Although there may be major price corrections in the short term, gold is a good long term investment. However, investors are advised to buy small amounts and hold them while the prices are correcting.

How do cryptocurrencies work today

Market view: Dr. F. K. Vijayakumar, Senior Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services

The market has returned to the stage of high volatility. The recent resilience of the Indian market can be largely attributed to FIIs becoming buyers. However, this FII uptrend appears to have ended in the near term as evidenced by the FII sell number at Rs.2290 krona yesterday. FIIs are also increasing their short positions in derivatives. This is a logical response to the dollar index rally, which touched a 20-year high of 109.6% yesterday. That, and the US 10-year bond yield racing to 3.26% is unfavorable for emerging market stocks, so investors should be cautious in the near term.

US jobs data will be released today and CPI numbers expected on September 13 signal the strength of the US economy and its impact on the Federal Reserve’s interest rate decision later this month.
The near-term market outlook has turned bearish amid the volatility. Investors can take advantage of deep market cuts to purchase domestic cyclical vehicles such as those that show strong resilience backed by healthy and cutting-edge fundamentals.
