In the previous session, gold had dropped 0.75% while silver had edged 0.14% lower. MCX gold has support at the downside at ₹46,300 while it faces resistance at ₹47100.

In global markets, gold rates edged lower, supported by a weaker US dollar. Spot gold rose 0.2% to $1,738.96 per ounce while among other precious metals, silver rose 0.5% to $25.53 and platinum gained 0.5% to $1,176. The dollar index held near a three-week low against a basket of currencies, edging lower to 91.665. Further supporting bullion, US bond yields also levelled off.

A weaker dollar makes gold cheaper for buyers outside the US while lower yields decrease the opportunity cost of holding the metal that pays no interest.

In India, gold had fallen to about ₹44,000 level earlier this month and has rebounded from those levels amid a recovery in global rates. An uptick in global rates and weakness in the rupee have lifted domestic prices. In August last year, gold had hit a record high of ₹56,200.
