According to PTI, Tapan Patel, Senior Analyst (Commodities), HDFC Securities, said that there was a downward trend in gold prices in the US due to lack of further stimulus packages and no new triggers for investors. Along with investors, traders also stressed on profit booking.
Navneet Damani, Vice President, Commodities Research, Motilal Oswal Financial Services, says investors have booked profit at the top price. This is because there was a sharp drop in prices after the announcement of duty cuts in the budget on Monday. In such a situation, investors insisted on profit booking.
