D A I L Y B U Z Z
GOLD
Gold futures rose in the domestic market on Friday after the European Central Bank (ECB) stuck to record low interest rates to boost the 18-member Euro area economy, lifting the outlook for the bullion as a store of value. The ECB maintained its key benchmark rate at a record low of 0.15 per cent. However, bets that the US Fed may raise interest rates sooner than earlier anticipated curbed gains in the precious metal. Gold futures for August 2014 contract, at MCX, is trading at Rs. 27,522 per 10 grams, up by 0.21 per cent, after opening at Rs. 27,487, against the previous closing price of Rs 27,464. It touched an intra-day high of Rs 27,529.

SILVER
Silver futures rose in the domestic market on Friday as investors and speculators booked fresh positions in the precious metal amid a pickup in physical demand for silver in the domestic spot market. However, the gains in the precious metal were capped by speculation that the US Federal Reserve may start raising borrowing costs sooner than earlier estimated after the economy created more than expected jobs last month, dimming the appeal of silver as a store of value. At the MCX, Silver futures, for the July 2014 contract, is trading at Rs. 44,625 per kg, up by 0.75 per cent, after opening at Rs. 44,490, against the previous closing price of Rs 44,291.
