Ravi Singh, Vice President & Head of Research, ShareIndia, had a similar prediction and suggested a buy zone near Rs 48,100 for the target prices of Rs 48, 350. He suggested a sell zone below the Rs 48,000 level with a target of Rs 47,800. Singh in his assessment said that US Treasury yields had dropped from their highest level in more than a week touched in the previous session. Weaker yields have been pushing the gold prices up and the fear of Omicron is supporting the prices at lower levels. The market conditions were favourable for the gold prices, and it could even touch the Rs 49,000 mark in the near future.
