India gold flat; physical traders remain on sidelines
|
India gold steadied on Thursday following foreign markets, and traders remained on the sidelines in a seasonally weak demand period after wedding season neared an end and monsoons began.
* The most-active gold for August delivery on the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX) was trading 0.06 percent higher at 22,536 rupees per 10 grams at 2:51 p.m.
* Overseas spot gold held steady as a wait-and-see sentiment prevailed on future U.S. monetary policy moves.
* Investors were eyeing the outcome of the European Central Bank for direction.
* The monsoon period is a seasonally slack one for gold demand and dealers expect traders to replenish stocks from September, when festivals and weddings re-start.
