The risk-taking was short-lived however, as the dollar recovered, sending gold a low of 18335, before it mustered a close of 18383.Now support for the gold MCX is seen at 18310 and below could see a test of 18238. Resistance is now likely to be seen at 18480, a move above could see prices testing 18578.
