Gold up above $1,150

FXStreet (Edinburgh) - The troy ounce of the precious metal is posting meagre gains on Friday, currently gyrating around $1,155.00.

Gold remains resilient

The yellow metal is resisting remarkably well the scenario of USD-strength in the global markets. In fact, Gold prices seem to have derived some support from recent comments that a climb towards $2,000/oz still remains on the cards, despite the current upside in the greenback.

Gold important levels

At the moment the metal is up 0.25% at $1,154.80 with the next hurdle at $1,169.70 (high Mar.10) followed by $1,174.40 (high Mar.9) and then $1,200.00 (high Mar.6). On the other hand, a breach of $1,147.80 (low Mar.12) would open the door to $1,146.50 (low Mar.11) and finally $1,141.70 (low Dec.1).

The week ahead: Fed, BoE, BoJ, SNB, NB & co. - UBS

The UBS analyst team expects the Fed to drop the word patient in the outlook for the first rate hike. However, they also forecast a word of caution on international developments, but this should neither weaken the USD nor guide EUR/USD much lower.
