Gold: Bulls pay a little heed to trade/political headlines while nearing multi-week top

Gold prices remain under pressure around $1,510.85 amid the early Asian trading on Monday. In doing so, the yellow metal ignores the weekend news that should have been provided additional fuel to the safe-havens run-up beyond the nine-week high.

Cautious optimism surrounding the phase-one deal got another puzzle to solve during the weekend, which came from the South China Morning Post (SCMP).

Gold Technical Analysis: Breakout confirmed on weekly, Doji on D1

Gold is currently trading at $1,515 per Oz, representing a 0.25% gain on the day.

The yellow metal closed last week with 2.22% gains at $1,511, confirming a flag breakout on the weekly chart.

The pattern indicates the pullback from September highs above $1,555 has ended and the rally from lows near $1,270 seen in April-May has resumed. The flag breakout has opened the doors for a retest of highs above $1,555.

AUD/USD turns south toward 0.6900 as USD firms up

AUD/USD sees fresh selling and drops toward 0.6900 in late Asian trading on Monday, as renewed US Dollar strength weighs on the pair amid lingering Middle East and Russia-Ukraine geopolitical tensions.

USD/JPY retakes 158.00 amid hawkish BoJ bets, firmer USD

USD/JPY erases losses and retakes 158.00 in the Asian session on Monday, trading within a one-week-old range.
