The gold price jumped up to $1,570 on today’s open, far higher than Friday’s close, before returning to $1,535. Despite the huge liquidity that the Federal Reserve is splashing into markets, bullion seems to be unable to recover, at least for the time being, after last week’s sell off.
We are in a scenario where investors are selling whatever they can and this has also affected gold, probably more than it should be. The price is now dancing around the key support level of $1,530-$1,540, with large amounts of volatility. If bullion can manage to hold these levels then there is a good chance of a rebound to $1,575-$1,580.
