Nirmal Bang Securities - Daily Bullion News and Summary
 Gold futures finished higher Tuesday for a second straight session as investors assessed the outlook for interest rates ahead of next week's
meeting of Federal Reserve policy makers. Investors await to see "what will happen with the recent stock market rally and if the disinflation
process will allow the Fed to skip a rate hike next week. Demand for safe-havens have somewhat eased up and traders are waiting to see if the
next market risk triggers a de-risking moment. Gold gained ground on Monday, lifted by a weaker-than-expected U.S. services index reading from
the Institute for Supply Management, which saw traders further ratchet down expectations for an interest rate hike when the Federal Reserve
meets next week. Fed-funds futures traders have priced in a probability of less than 20% for a quarter percentage point rate hike in June, down
from nearly 67% a week ago, but they still see a better than 60% chance that rates will rise by the end of the Fed's July meeting. More clear
direction from the Fed following the June 13-14 meeting could set the tone for the precious metal. The prospect of rising rates will presumably
weigh on the gold price until the meeting, in other words. However, a more pronounced and lasting correction is then on the cards after the Fed's
interest rate decision assuming our experts are right because the market's positioning would then turn out to have been too hawkish.

 Exchange-traded funds cut 78,138 troy ounces of gold from their holdings in the last trading session, bringing this year's net purchases to
280,867 ounces, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. This was the fifth straight day of declines. The sales were equivalent to $153.3 million
at yesterday's spot price. Total gold held by ETFs rose 0.3 percent this year to 94 million ounces. Gold advanced 7.6 percent this year to $1,961.86
an ounce and by 0.7 percent in the latest session. State Street's SPDR Gold Shares, the biggest precious- metals ETF, maintained its holdings in the
last session. The fund's total of 30.2 million ounces has a market value of $59.2 billion. ETFs also cut 589,758 troy ounces of silver from their
holdings in the last trading session, bringing this year's net sales to 2.66 million ounces. This was the fourth straight day of declines, the longest
losing streak since May 1.

Zimbabwean Gold Deliveries Fall 4% to 2,876 Kgs in May. Deliveries drop from 2,991 kgs a year earlier, Fidelity Gold and Refinery, a unit of the
central bank, says in an emailed statement. Supply by large-scale miners increased to 1,070 kgs from 1,056 kgs, while output by small-scale miners
declined to 1,806 kgs from 1,936kgs. Cumulative deliveries through May were 13% lower at 11,446 kgs. Zimbabwe is targeting production of 40
tons of gold this year.

Gold continues to be viewed favorably by central banks as a reserve asset. Nearly a quarter of 59 central banks surveyed intend to raise their
gold reserves in the next 12 months, World Gold Council's survey found. The survey, published on Tuesday (Jun 6), also showed that seven in 10
central banks believed global central bank gold reserves will increase in the next 12 months - a 10-point
increase from last year's survey results. Interest rate concerns prevailed as the top worry among respondents in influencing their reserve
management decisions. This is followed by concerns over inflation, geopolitical instability and environmental, social and governance issues.
Factors which were of lesser priority, as compared with last year's findings, include concerns over current or future pandemics, as well as digital
currencies. Respondents were also more pessimistic on the future role of the US dollar. Exactly half think that the percentage of reserves
denominated in US dollar would stand at between 40 per cent and 50 per cent in five years' time, down from the 51 per cent in Q3 2022. Close to
60 per cent thought that gold would account for more five years from now - at between 16 per cent and 25 per cent of total reserves, as compared
with the 15 per cent in Q3 last year. In April, global official gold reserves fell 71 tonnes, Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) World Gold
Council's monthly analysis - sourced primarily from the International Monetary Fund - indicated. This was chiefly due to Turkey's 81 tonnes gold
sale to satisfy strong local gold demand, the council said.

 Fundamental Outlook: Gold and silver prices are trading flat on international bourses. We expect prices to trade sideways to
higher for the day prices as cautious traders await the U.S. Federal Reserve's interest rate decision at its policy meeting next week,
although a softer dollar will keep bullions supported.

proved more encouraging. Inflation itself slowed to 6.1% in May, and an underlying measure

European Commission’s own survey of inflation expectations for the coming year fell to the

debate about how long borrowing costs must rise to ensure inflation returns to target.
Japan 0.4260 -0.0080 Governing Council member Boris Vujcic told Bloomberg this week that price risks remain skewed
