Pablo Piovano FXStreet

Open interest in gold futures markets resumed the uptrend and went up by around 13.2K contracts on Wednesday, the largest single day build since February 17 according to preliminary readings from CME Group.

Gold faces the next support at $1880

Gold prices retreated sharply on Wednesday on the back of the resumption of the risk-on sentiment in the global markets.
