Bullion metals steadied today after a fall of as much as 2 percent the day before, drawing support from investor wariness of Greece's ability to remain solvent, even after Athens struck a deal with international lenders on the terms of a bailout. MCX Gold futures settled sharply lower at Thursday, tracking a broad commodities sell off to break a seven-session winning streak as prices of crude oil fell more than 4% and the U.S. dollar strengthened. Gold MCX for August delivery fell $32.90, to $1,520.50 an ounce. MCX Gold August contract is currently trading at `22396, it fell by `325 in yesterday's trade. Silver for July delivery is trading marginally $35 an ounce, it was down by $1 yesterday. MCX Silver July is trading at `52470, it is down by `234 for the day. Gold was set for its biggest daily fall in over a month on Thursday after a surprisingly large rise in weekly U.S. jobless claims hit investor risk appetite, pummeling commodities and stocks and boosting the dollar.
