Gold drops to one-month low on dollar rally
Gold prices extended losses to $1215.36; the lowest since Feb 26th after Bullard’s comments pushed dollar higher across the board.
Offered below 23.6% Fibo
Fresh offers came-in after prices fell below $1227 (23.6% of Dec low-Mar high). Fed’s Bullard, in line with his colleagues who came out on a hawkish side earlier this week, said the Fed may be falling behind the curve.
Consequently, dollar index extended gains and now trades 0.40% higher on the day above 96.00 handle. Gold now trades on a weak footing around $1217 levels; down 2.53% on the day.
Gold Technical Levels
Now the immediate support is seen at $1200 handle, under which the losses could be extended to $1193.49 (38.2% of Dec low-Mar high) - $1191.53 (Oct 15 high). On the other hand, a break above $1127 (23.6% of Dec low-Mar high) could see the metal have a re-look at $1240.50 (Mar 21 low).
