However, a spree of terrorist attacks in Europe is likely to keep the safe haven tag in play for Gold. COMEX Gold ended just above $1320 per ounce levels and a sideways pattern is expected to prevail in the commodity in near term. MCX Gold futures topped out above Rs 32000 per 10 grams mark in early July 2016 and dropped near Rs 30700 mark amid sustained selling pressure. Local Gold imports dropped by about 48% to $3.90 billion in the first quarter of the current fiscal, extending their weak run. Gold imports stood at $7.51 billion in April-June 2015. The shipments contracted for a fifth consecutive month in June by 38.5% to $1.20 billion, according to the data by the Commerce Ministry. Silver imports too dipped to $249.39 million in June as against $342.37 million in the same month last year.
