Commodity Radar: Expect gold prices to soften ahead of Akshaya Tritiya. Buy on dips, recommends Jateen Trivedi

Gold prices have softened after reaching a lifetime high of Rs 99,358 per 10 grams on the MCX. The June contract is down 5% to Rs 94,484, influenced by easing US-China trade tensions and a stronger US dollar. Technical indicators suggest cooling momentum, with resistance at Rs 97,800–98,200 and support near Rs 93,000. Analysts anticipate a range-bound consolidation phase ahead.
