Gold declines as US dollar strengthened after OPEC meet
FXStreet (Mumbai) - Gold prices fell tracking the strength in the US Dollar after the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) group decided yesterday to hold production levels unchanged.
Gold traded 1.06% lower at USD 1184.80/Oz levels at the time of writing. Meanwhile, the US Dollar Index has strengthened 0.295 to trade at 88.27 levels. However, the fall in the US treasury yields is providing some support to the yellow metal. Asian equity markets are trading mixed, although the European futures are pointing to a weak opening.
The metal prices may gain during the day ahead, if the European and the US equity markets slide on renewed concerns of deflation due to falling oil prices.
Gold Technical Levels
Gold is trading near an immediate support located at 1183.30 (Oct 6 low), under which prices may fall to 1174.70 (Nov 19 low). Meanwhile, resistance is seen at 1187.70 and 1190.60 levels.
