Beginning of May month showed downward pressure for all commodities, which was extended in June month when gold on MCX suffered a significant sell-off, closing at Rs 58196 per ten grammes, a drop of more than 10%, or Rs 6250.

The last week of April saw the gathering of economic data, which influenced the Dollar Index starting on May 1st. Other headwinds erupted on June 14 after the US Federal Reserve paused interest rates after ten consecutive increases. A hawkish outlook by major central banks acts as a headwind for the commodity.

On the technical front, the US Dollar Index (DXY) flattened and the combination of the prolonged overbought levels on the Stochastic oscillator and the closing below the upper band of the Bollinger bands could indicate that there is a minor correction upcoming in the following sessions before resuming the further bullish momentum.
