Buoyed By Day's USD Weakness, Holding 14% YTD Gain

GOLD
  • Gold is starting to push closer to earlier high of $2082.43 again after pausing with the halt in the decline US Tsy yields and subsequent minor lift in the USD index.
  • The day’s increase has cleared resistance at $2073.4 (61.8% retrace of Dec 4-13 bear leg) to open $2097.1 (76.4% retrace of the same move).
  • It’s a level that would mark the highest close on record but it remains below the Dec 4 all-time high of $2135.39 seen early in Asia hours before that above bear leg emerged after a snap into overbought territory.
  • Gold’s YTD gains stand at 14%.
