Gold: Upside remains capped around $1980
Gold started the week in a positive fashion and with decent gains. The uptick, however, was accompanied by shrinking open interest and volume and hints at the idea that a more sustainable advance seems out of favour for the time being. In the meantime, occasional bouts of strength should meet initial resistance around $1980 per ounce troy.
