Gold trades at 200-DMA
FXStreet (Mumbai) - Gold prices shot higher to trade at 200-DMA located at USD 1217.85/Oz, after a weaker-than-expected US non-farm payrolls data released on Friday weakened the US dollar across the board.
Gold: Rises for three straight weeks
Prices gained last week for the third consecutive week as the USD weakened sharply post the release of a weak NFP report. The rebound from the low of USD 1142.6/Oz was triggered by a surprisingly dovish US Fed statement released on March 18th. Since then, the yellow metal has been on the rise slow and steady.
The metal has begun the current week on a positive note, rising from USD 1202.40 to trade at USD 1217.85. The metal could extend gains if the USD catches a fresh selling wave during the US session today. A weaker-than-expected services PMI report in the US later today could lead to further gains in the metal.
Gold Technical Levels
The immediate resistance is seen at 1219.4, above which gains could be extended to 1230.00. On the flip side, a break below 1214.41 (100-DMA), under which losses could be extended to 1208.74 (5-DMA).
