Market recap (as of 6:15 pm)

  • Gold 4 April Futures: ₹86,112/ 10 gram (▲ 0.24%)
  • Silver 5 March Futures: ₹97,406/ 1 kg (▲ 1.04%)
  • Crude Oil 19 March Futures: ₹6,289/ 1 BBL (▲ 0.02%)
Gold: The yellow metal traded higher on Thursday, with April gold futures trading 1.01% higher at $2,966 an ounce. Gold prices briefly hit a record high as safe-haven demand increased amid U.S. President Donald Trump's threat to impose more trade tariffs.

According to experts, Trump's tariff comments have heightened concerns that increased U.S. tariffs could disrupt global trade and spark a new trade war between the world's largest economies. Meanwhile, silver was also trading higher, up 1.81% at $33.64 per troy ounce in the futures market.

Crude Oil: International crude oil futures traded in the green, with Brent futures trading at $76.33, up 0.38%, while WTI crude oil traded 0.33% higher at $72.34. Oil prices are trading marginally higher near one-week high even as U.S. crude inventories rose by 3.34 million barrels last week, according to the American Petroleum Institute.

Technical structure

Gold: The technical structure of the yellow metal remains sideways to bullish, trading above the high of the bearish engulfing candle formed on February 14th. However, gold prices failed to close above the high of the bearish reversal pattern on the 19th, indicating that gold is under selling pressure around this area.

For the coming sessions, traders can monitor the high of the bearish reversal pattern. A close above this area on the daily chart will signal a continuation of the bullish momentum. Conversely, a close below the 84,600 level will signal weakness.

Silver: Silver resumed its upward trajectory after forming a Doji candlestick pattern on February 19, signaling market indecision. However, it quickly regained momentum and is now trading above the Doji's high, reaffirming its uptrend.

The broader outlook for silver remains bullish, but for short-term insights, traders should watch the Doji's high and the key resistance zone at ₹96,500. A decisive close above these levels could indicate further upside potential. Conversely, a close below ₹96,500 may lead to a period of consolidation between ₹96,500 and ₹93,643.

Crude oil: Oil prices remained subdued and extended the consolidation around the 6,300 mark for the second week in a row. The broader technical structure of the crude remains range-bound between 6,400 and 6,100. Unless crude breaks this range on closing basis, the trend may remain sideways.

The open interest data for the 17 March expiry sustained significant call and put build-up at 6,300 strike, indicating consolidation of crude around this zone. Conversely, a significant put base was also observed at 6,200 strike, pointing support for the crude oil.
