Gold clings to $1,200

FXStreet (Edinburgh) - The troy ounce of the precious metal is advancing more than 2% at the beginning of the week, managing to regain the critical $1,200 mark.

Gold bounces off $1,180

The yellow metal has managed to gain more than $20 today, rebounding from session troughs just below the $1,180 level. Gold gained further traction as market participants started to factor in the likeliness of a dovish tone in the FOMC meeting on Wednesday.

In addition, the softer tone in the US dollar has been collaborating with the significant recovery in prices, pushing Gold near $1,210.

Gold levels to consider

The metal is now gaining 2.33% at $1,202.40 with the next resistance at $1,236.79 (high Feb.16) followed by $1,245.91 (high Feb.10) and then $1,285.80 (high Feb.3). On the flip side, a breakdown of $1,178 (low Apr.27) would aim for $1,168.50 (low Mar.20) and finally $1,159.40 (low Mar.19).
