Gold Futures: Further losses not ruled out

Gold: Next on the downside comes $1,721
Gold prices tumbled to levels last seen in September 2021 near $1,730 per ounce troy on Wednesday. The sharp pullback was amidst rising open interest, which leaves the door open to extra decline in the very near term. The marked drop in volume coupled with oversold levels could, however, encourage a technical rebound. The next level to watch on the downside emerges at the September 2021 low at $1,721 (September 29).
