Gold rebounds to $ 1186 in Asia
FXStreet (Mumbai) - Gold prices on Comex bounced-back in the early Asian hours, extending its overnight recovery path from fresh weekly lows reached at 1181.60 reached on Monday.
Gold supported at $ 1185
Currently, gold trades 0.20% higher at 1186.50, attempting to regain 1190 levels. Gold prices inched higher mainly as traders resorted to profit-taking on their gold shorts after the recent weakness.
Moreover, impending Greek talks after a failed outcome from Euro group meeting also keeps the safe-haven appeal in gold boosted.
Meanwhile, the US dollar index, measuring the relative strength of the greenback against a basket of six major currencies, trades flat at 94.50. A weaker US dollar makes dollar priced-in commodities cheaper for holders in foreign currencies.
While, traders await the June manufacturing PMI for China which will hit the wires shortly, followed by similar indices for the euro area and the US where even more attention will be paid to the update on durable goods orders.
Gold Technical Levels
The metal has an immediate resistance at 1188.80 (June 17 High) and 1192 levels. Meanwhile, support stands at 1181.60 (June 22 Low) below which doors could open for 1179.10 levels.
