Currently, Gold is trading at 1205.11, up +0.02% on the day, having posted a daily high at 1209.15 and low at 1198.68.
Not much has changed in terms of price for the precious metal during the NA session. Moreover, Trump's inauguration speech fails to impress investors and traders as no one rushed to hedge risk or to take more of it.
Nevertheless, it has been an important trading week for Gold bugs as they aimed to keep the metal above water; $1200 mark. Hence, as long as prices keep trading above such relevant level the case to experience further gains towards $1250-60 range is on the table.
