Gold maintains a firmer short-term tone and is trading closer to its recent highs, despite the latest minor pullback. The yellow metal has this week traded above resistance at $1859.1, the 20-day EMA. This suggests potential for a test of the 50-day EMA at $1883.3. Gains are still considered corrective though and the primary trend direction is down. A resumption of bearish activity would refocus attention on last week’s $1787.0 low (May 16).
