Rates of precious metals in futures traded mixed on Thursday, August 6, 2026, on growing hopes over the Strait of Hormuz reopening and a decline in the US dollar. The gold October 5 contract on the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX) opened with a gain of Rs 536 or 0.36 per cent at Rs 1,49,029 per 10 grams against the previous close of Rs 1,48,493. It further touched the intraday high of Rs 1,49,700, a gain of Rs 1,207 or 0.81 per cent. Last seen, it was trading at Rs 1,49,631, up Rs 1,138 (0.77 per cent). In between, it touched the low of Rs 1,48,900.
On the MCX, the yellow metal futures for December 2026 were up by Rs 1,211 or 0.81 per cent to trade at Rs 1,50,992 per 10 grams in business turnover of 7,847 lots.
“MCX Gold opened with a gap up and is holding above Rs 149,000, up 0.62 per cent, after a strong breakout candle that carried price from the Rs 1,44,000 zone to a high of Rs 1,49,494, a seven-week peak. Immediate resistance is at Rs 150,000-150,700, and a break above targets next resistance at Rs 152,200-152,800. Immediate support is at Rs 148,600-148,000, with next support at Rs 146,600-146,000. Price has decisively broken above all key EMAs (20/50/100/200), confirming a strong shift in near-term momentum after weeks of consolidation. Bias stays positive above Rs 149,000, with a hold needed to extend gains toward Rs 150,000; a slip below Rs 149,000 would signal exhaustion after the sharp run-up,” said Ponmudi R, CEO of Enrich Money.
