By Fast Brokers<\/strong> – Gold is pulling back from intraday highs after trading at new record levels just above $1140\/oz.\u00a0 Present weakness stems from a combination of profit taking and broad-based strength in the Dollar.\u00a0 However, despite today\u2019s slight pullback, there remains little reason to be technically negative on gold due to the lack of historical perspective to the topside.\u00a0 Investors would likely need to witness significant strength in the Dollar in order to make a noteworthy dent in gold.\u00a0 After all, gold has proven to be more closely correlated to the Dollar than U.S. equities.\u00a0 Therefore, investors should keep an eye on current weakness in the EUR\/USD and AUD\/USD and monitor whether any key supports are taken out in these currency pairs.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, U.S. economic data continues to print negatively mixed, including today\u2019s disappointing PPI data.\u00a0 The disappointing Core PPI number further supports the Fed\u2019s plan to maintain its loose monetary policy for the foreseeable future.\u00a0 The Fed\u2019s dovish attitude implies the continuation of a broad-based weakness in the Dollar.\u00a0 Therefore, gold\u2019s downside movements have been limited today, and the potential for further near-term gains remains.<\/p>\n

Technically speaking, we\u2019re still unable to install a downtrend line on our chart due to a lack of historical perspective.\u00a0 Therefore, it\u2019s difficult to find any topside technical barriers besides gold\u2019s potentially psychological $1150\/oz level.\u00a0 As for the downside, gold has multiple uptrend lines serving as technical cushions along with 11.16 lows and the psychological $1100\/oz level.<\/p>\n
