Gold flat-lined around 5-DMA in Asia, UK declarations eyed
|Gold failed to sustain at higher levels and drifted lower on Thursday as extended post-Brexit rally in the global equities, combined with a firmer USD dampened the sentiment around the metal.
Gold supported above $ 1313
Currently, gold trades modestly flat at $ 1316.30, having posted day’s high at 1317.90 and day’s low at 1313.99. Gold prices inched lower this Thursday, after having booked nearly 1% gain a day before, as risk-on sentiment prevailed in the markets as Brexit shock fades.
However, the bullion remains underpinned as all eyes now turn towards the political declarations from the UK Conservatives party, which may yet again spur volatility into market and prop up gold’s safe-haven demand.
On the data-front, we have the usual weekly jobless claims to fill in an otherwise quiet NA session today. While Fed official Bullard’s speech will also remain in focus.
Gold Technical Levels
