The gold
futures contract gained 0.56% yesterday as it extended its Tuesday’s advance. However, the market
continues to fluctuate within a short-term consolidation. Gold price remains close to $1,700 level. It is still trading within a flat correction after its April’s advance. On April 14 it was the highest since November of 2012 and the high was at $1,788.80. Since then we’ve seen some profit-taking action and a potential medium-term downward reversal.
The price of gold is basically
going sideways along $1,700 mark since early to mid April and it’s trading above February-March local highs. So it still looks like a consolidation within a medium-term uptrend.
Gold is 0.1% down this morning, as it continues to trade along $1,700 mark.
