Gold extends gains, risk aversion on the rise
FXStreet (Mumbai) - Gold took out the resistance of the November 2014 low at USD 1132.90/Oz levels to a fresh session high of USD 1138.20/Oz after the risk aversion became more prominent through European stock markets.
USD offered across the board
The greenback is being offered across the board lending support to the precious metals and base metals. Gold prices also spiked due to the risk aversion seen in the European markets. The pan-European Euro Stoxx 600 index dropped 1%, triggering a fresh wave of buying in the yellow metal.
Ahead in the day, the sentiment on the Wall Street could affect the demand for the yellow metal. At the time of writing, the S&P 500 futures are pointing to a flat opening later today.
