Friday’s pullback in gold prices was in tandem with shrinking open interest and volume, hinting at the idea that extra decline is not favoured in the very near term at least. That said, yellow metal remains poised to extend the rangebound theme around the $1,800 mark per ounce troy in the very near term.
