Gold: Initial support emerges at $1,800
Prices of gold dropped and tested the key $1,800 mark per ounce troy on Friday. The downtick was on the back of a small increase in open interest and leaves the door open to extra losses in the very near term. In the meantime, the breach of $1,800 should expose a probable test of the 2022 low at $1,780 (January 28).
