The dollar has been an investor favourite recently, hitting a four-year high against a basket of major currencies earlier this week. A stronger greenback makes gold more expensive for holders of other currencies. It also dulls gold's appeal as a hedge. While Gold was supported as the dollar dropped against the euro on a report citing internal tensions within the ECB over the leadership style of its chief, Mario Draghi, that has the markets expecting limits on future loosening of monetary policy. So far, bullion demand from the price-sensitive Chinese and Indian markets, the world's biggest gold buyers, were only modest. From the Indian market side with gold imports on the rise again, officials of the revenue department and other government agencies feel the 80:20 scheme, wherein out of every 100 units imported, 20 units have to be exported, should be revamped. Several cases unearthed by agencies reveal that the scheme is being grossly misused by traders. Sources said the government is considering whether to do away with the scheme and fix a quota for imports and de-linking it from exports or overhaul the scheme. The decision might come soon, as imports are on the rise and the marriage season is round the corner, resulting in higher demand, especially when prices have fallen significantly. Gold imports in September was $3.75 billion, at least $1 billion more than previous months and in October also imports were at an elevated level. Technically market is getting support at 25853 and below same could see a test of 25743 level, And resistance is now likely to be seen at 26130, a move above could see prices testing 26297.

Tracking a weak trend overseas, silver prices moved down to settled at 35495 as speculators engaged in trimming positions. The exchange opened for the evening session as it remained closed in the morning for 'Muharram'. Also a recent batch of better than expected U.S. economic data underlined the view that the economy was gaining momentum and that interest rates could rise sooner rather than later. Bullion, which yields nothing and costs money to hold, is seen as a less attractive investment during times of rising interest rates. Meanwhile the EU lowered its 2014 growth forecast for the euro zone earlier Tuesday, citing the tensions in Ukraine and the Middle East along with a lack of investment. The agency said it now expects gross domestic product in the single currency bloc to grow 0.8% this year, down from 1.2% growth it forecast this spring. In 2015, the euro zone economy will likely grow 1.1%, down from a previous forecast of 1.7%. In economic news from the U.S., a report from the Commerce Department showed trade deficit to have widened much more than anticipated to $43.0 billion in Sept, from a revised $40.0 billion in August. According to another report from the Commerce Department, new orders for U.S. manufactured goods dropped 0.6 percent in September, after tumbling 10.0 percent in August.

The EC's cut to its growth forecast for the euro area and some soft trade and factory orders data from the U.S. also weighed down the commodity. Crude prices continued to be under pressure on demand growth concerns with fears of a supply glut with higher OPEC output in October and Saudi Arabia discounting prices to customers around the world. Last month, Saudi Arabia had announced a reduction in oil prices for its customers in Asia and Africa. While data from industry group the API showed on Tuesday, crude inventories fell by 639kbls to 374.9mbls in the week to Oct. 31, compared with markets expectations for a increase of 2.2mbls. Crude stocks at the Cushing, Oklahoma, delivery hub fell by 804,000 barrels. Also the OPEC meets Nov. 27, but there are no clear signs whether it will curb output. Saudi Oil Minister Ali al-Naimi and Venezuelan Foreign Minister Rafael Ramirez will meet on Wednesday on the sidelines of a climate conference, according to a person close to the Saudi delegation. Meanwhile soft U.S. data and a EC move to cut growth forecasts added to the selloff by stoking concerns demand will remain soft while supply ample.

Updated weather-forecasting models called for unusually cold temperatures across the eastern half of the U.S. from November 8 through November 17. Bullish speculators are betting on the chilly weather to increase early-winter demand for the heating fuel. The heating season from November through March is the peak demand period for U.S. gas consumption. Meanwhile, the U.S. Energy Information Administration's next storage report slated for release on Thursday is expected to show an increase of 80 billion cubic feet for the week ending October 31. Inventories rose by 35 billion cubic feet in the same week a year earlier, while the five-year average change is a build of 42 billion cubic feet. Natural gas storage in the U.S. rose by 87 billion cubic feet last week. Injections of gas into storage have surpassed the five-year average for 28 consecutive weeks, alleviating concerns over tightening supplies. Total U.S. natural gas storage stood at 3.480 trillion cubic feet as of last week, narrowing the deficit to the five-year average to 8.2% from 9.1% in the preceding week and from a record 54.7% at the end of March.

The European Commission cut its 2014 growth forecast for the eurozone from 1.2 per cent to 0.8 per cent, naming tensions in Eastern Europe and in the Middle East, and a lack of investment, as reasons behind the decision. Meanwhile, the commission dropped its projections for unemployment rate from 11.8% to 11.6% this year and from 11.4% to 11.3% in 2015.

The services sector has been more resilient than the manufacturing sector and is creating more jobs, which partly explains why the government has so far refrained from more aggressive policy easing in supporting the slowing economy. The official non-manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) fell to 53.8 in October from September's 54.0, which was the weakest reading since January, the National Bureau of Statistics said. But it was still comfortably above the 50-point mark that separates growth from contraction on a monthly basis. The sub-index of new orders inched up to 51.0 in October from September's 49.5, which was the lowest since December 2008. The sub-index measuring employment fell to 48.9 in October - the fourth straight month when it was below 50, and was down from September's 49.5. An official survey published on Saturday showed China's factory activity unexpectedly fell to a five-month low in October as firms fought slowing orders and rising costs in the cooling economy, reinforcing views that the country's growth outlook is hazy at best. The Government today slashed the import tariff value on gold to $391 per 10 gm and silver to $551 per kg following weak global price trends. During the last fortnight, the tariff value on imported gold was fixed at $401 per 10 gm and on silver at $575 per kg. The import tariff value is the base price at which customs duty is determined to prevent under-invoicing. It is revised on a fortnightly basis taking into account global prices. The decrease in tariff value on imported gold has been notified by the Central Board of Excise and Customs, an official statement said. Gold in New York, which normally sets the price trend on the domestic front, fell by 2.3 per cent to $1,171.60 per ounce and silver by 1.73 per cent to $16.18 per ounce. In the national Capital, gold prices are ruling at Rs. 26,550 per 10 gm, while silver is at Rs. 36,250 per kg. Gold is the second largest import item for India after petroleum. Gold import increased for the second straight month to 95 tonnes in September ahead of the festival season. The Government has imposed several restrictions to curb imports to contain the current account deficit (CAD). The import duty on gold was increased thrice to a record 10 per cent last year and it was made mandatory to export 20 per cent of the imported gold. Personal spending in the U.S. unexpectedly decreased in the month of September, according to a report released by the Commerce Department, with the drop in spending accompanied by weaker than expected personal income growth. The Commerce Department said personal spending dipped by 0.2 percent in September after climbing by 0.5 percent in August. The modest pullback came as a surprise to economists, who had expected personal spending to inch up by 0.1 percent. Real spending, which is adjusted to remove price changes, also slipped 0.2 percent in September following a 0.5 percent increase in the previous month. Additionally, the report said personal income edged up by 0.2 percent in September following a 0.3 percent increase in August. Economists had expected income to rise by another 0.3 percent. Disposable personal income, or personal income less personal current taxes, inched up by a more modest 0.1 percent in September compared to a 0.3 percent increase in the previous month. Real disposable income was nearly unchanged. The drop in spending combined with the increase in disposable income resulted in an uptick by the personal savings rate, which rose to 5.6 percent in September from 5.4 percent in August.
