Gold maintains its bullish outlook. With the December 2011 low at $1522.8 and

May 2012 low of $1527.0 cleared last week, the focus now shifts to $1587.0. This

is the 61.8% retracement of the 2011 to 2015 decline. Overbought conditions in

momentum continue to provide little concern for bulls and this in turn

reinforces the underlying bullish theme. Support lies at $1479.7 where a break

is required to signal scope for a short-term correction.
