“We are repeatedly advising market participants to remain long in gold over the past few days and are still positive on the yellow metal. The outlook is positive for today with some consolidation after this sharp rally,” added Matta.

“The IMF cut its global growth forecast for 2021 to 5.9% from 6% in its July report. These have driven gold and silver prices to higher levels,” said Ravi Singh, vice president, ShareIndia.
