Fundamental: Last week, spot gold declined by 1.4 percent. After declining significantly over chances of a possible recession the US dollar recovered which pressurized the yellow metal. Continuously mounting global tension boosted the demand for US Dollar as a safe haven asset. Dollar further strengthened against the basket of currencies as others struggled after dovish indications from central banks in turn pushing gold prices lower. Dovish approach by the U.S. Federal Reserve and global growth concerns has helped Spot Gold appreciate over 13 percent after hitting more than 1-1/2 year lows in August 2018.
Suggestion: BUY GOLD ABOVE 1293 FOR 1300/1303 ELSE SELL BELOW 1285 FOR 1278/75
