Every time Gold sets a new record high, there is typically a follow-up sell-off that results in a healthy correction that helps to restore equilibrium in the overbought conditions. This is also a result of shrewd money taking profits at the first signs of a correction, which causes a significant decline in prices, which continues until fair value is reached.
On domestic front, MCX gold has been dealt with heavy hand as we saw fall of as much as 5% on budget day when FM slashed the import duty from 15% to 6%. Today the downfall continued as profit booking was seen in international market where gold in COMEX breached below $2390 at the time of this writing.
Two important economic reports that will provide insight into the state of the US economy are highly anticipated by investors. Just a few days before the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meets in July, these reports which are scheduled for release on Thursday and Friday will offer crucial information.

The Commerce Department will release its initial estimate of GDP growth for the second quarter on Thursday, July 25. An annualized growth rate of 2% is anticipated by economists, which is a notable increase from the 1.4% seen in the first quarter.
This data will provide insightful information about the resiliency and trajectory of the economy. Following closely would be the release of PCE inflation index and this report is particularly significant as the core PCE is the Fed’s preferred measure of inflation.
At the upcoming July meeting, there is currently a 93.3% chance that the Fed will keep its benchmark interest rate between 5.25% and 5.50%. The CME’s FedWatch tool indicates an 89.6% probability of a 0.25% rate cut, a 10.2% chance of a 0.50% cut, and a newly added 0.3% possibility of a 0.75% cut in September.
Some buying activity may be witnessed from $2368-$2360 that may take Gold to nearest resistance zone of $2384-$2390 which if cleared preferably with a day close, can extend to $2400 psychological handle that coincides with 4 hourly rising 100 SMA.

In MCX, prices are in oversold condition as RSI_14 is near 28 but we have to overlook the fact that nearly fall of nearly 4000 points in Gold was on account of slash in custom duty. So MCX chart is not representing the true picture but COMEX chart is showing selling pressure as prices have breached its $2390 support.
As stated we might see some value buying emerging around $2368-$2360 zone. We would advice traders to remain on the sidelines till PCE data is not released on Friday and any fresh positions can only be taken after that.

Markets remained volatile for yet another week but managed to end in the green. The beginning was downbeat, tracking feeble global cues but the situation improved in the following sessions with stability in the world indices. However, pressure in the IT majors combined with the prevailing underperformance of the banking pack continues to weigh on the sentiment. Eventually, both the benchmark indices, Nifty and Sensex, settled with modest gains to close at 19,751.05 and 66,282.74 levels. Meanwhile, buoyancy in select key sectors like auto, FMCG, energy and realty kept the traders occupied. Besides, the positive tone on broader indices further eased the pressure.

So far since April, FIIs have net sold nearly Rs 37,400 crore worth of shares in India. Mohanty also said that the ongoing volatility due to the general elections should be seen as an opportunity given India’s structural growth prospects. Excerpts:
What are the reasons behind the aggressive selling by FIIs this month? What could be the key catalyst for FIIs to return to India in the near-to-medium term?
The ongoing sell-off from FIIs is largely due to the elections and low China valuations. And to be fair, they have made money. Anybody who leaves making money is always good for the markets. But t…

Series creators Matt and Ross Duffer are not happy about it, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
While the Duffer Brothers are reportedly quite involved with marketing efforts for their massively successful Netflix series, the show is too big at this point for them to see everything, and the game seems to have slipped by, causing the brothers to have a “total meltdown” according to sources.
The toy and board game industries move at a different pace from the film and television industries and has been a source of spoilers more than once in recent years, frustrating creators and fans alike. As THR notes, Jon Favreau fiercely protected Grogu, also known as Baby Yoda or The Child, from spoilers, causing the associat…

“We are writing it like that,” Goldstein, who writes for the show in addition to playing Roy Kent on it, told the Sunday Times. “It was planned as three.” Variety notes that Jason Sudeikis told Entertainment Weekly the same thing almost exactly a year ago, so Goldstein isn’t revealing anything that hasn’t already been said.
“The story that I know is the one that I wanted to tell, and so that’s the one we’re telling with the help of numerous people in front of and behind the camera, so it’s by no means me typing every keystroke and saying every word,” Goldstein said. “It’s nowhere near like that. But the story that’s being told–that three-season arc–is one that I see, know, and understoodCome from
