The gold prices have recovered to $ 1,200 after yesterday’s fall

Buy on a level breakthrough of 1220 with 1255 target. Stop loss = 1190.

Reason for the trading strategy

After yesterday’s fall, the gold prices have recovered to $ 1,200. The November decline in the business activity index in the US manufacturing sector from 59.0 p. to 58.7 has provided some support for gold. In the short term, we do not exclude the possibility of the precious metal testing the $1255 mark.
