Commodity Outlook for Gold by KediaCommodity
Gold recovered all of its losses and ended positive as traders squares all their position ahead of FOMC meet after prices fell earlier as data showing U.S. producer prices and retail sales rose slightly more than expected in November lifted the dollar into positive territory. Gold is benefiting on the one hand from inflation-led buying in Asia, and from safe-haven-led buying particularly in North America where there is a lack of confidence in issues like the budget deficit being solved. Gold opened at 20635 and quickly reached an intraday high of 20729. Profit taking after better than expected economic data took the metal to an intraday low of 20570. Renewed buying interest ahead of the Fed’s rate decision took the metal to its close of 20672.Now support for the gold MCX is seen at 20585 and below could see a test of 20498. Resistance is now likely to be seen at 20744, a move above could see prices testing 20816.
