Precious Metals Market Report

Fundamentals and News*
Gold prices reversed its one week down-trend
Gold prices reversed its one week down-trend following sharp investment offtake and increase in buying interest from stockists and jewellery buyers, hurt by a sluggish overseas trend here at the bullion market.
Traders said besides a weak trend overseas, the yellow metal staged a strong comeback during the weeks trade.
Elsewhere, silver also rebounded sharply to close above the significant Rs 40,000 mark due, to heavy speculative buying coupled with higher industrial demand.
In worldwide trade, Gold prices fell to notch a third-straight decline and their first weekly drop in more than a month, despite a market fraught with the type of political drama that would ordinarily have offered a boost to precious metals.
The precious metal fell for a third day, meanwhile, after British elections failed to deliver a clear majority for Prime Minister Theresa May, knocking the pound sharply lower and helping lift the dollar index to its highest since late May.
The yellow metal saw a weekly decline of 0.7 per cent, which was the first such loss in five weeks, while the white-metal fell by 1.7 per cent.
Gold prices fell Friday to notch a third-straight decline and their first weekly drop in more than a month, despite a market fraught with the type of political drama that would ordinarily have offered a boost to precious metals.
August gold GCQ7, -0.84% lost $8.10, or 0.6%, to settle at $1,271.40 an ounce—logging the longest skid since the three-session period ended May 5. The metal saw a weekly decline of 0.7%, which was the first such loss in five weeks, according to FactSet data.
Friday’s moves in metals come after the U.K. parliamentary elections late Thursday delivered a stunning result: a hung parliament, in which neither the Conservative nor Labour Party holds a parliamentary majority. Now, U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May will attempt to form a minority government, where her Conservative Party would need to rally outside support in each parliamentary vote.
