Spot Gold prices hit a 3-month high of USD 1,235.00 as geopolitical tensions increased the yellow metal’s safe haven appeal.
Political uncertainty regarding upcoming elections in Europe, the US and Iran exchanging threats and unstable banking sectors in Italy and Greece have all added to investors’ interest in Gold.
From a technical perspective, the next key price target is at the November 11th high of USD 1292.00. We would suggest exiting long positions in that area.
Shares of Newcrest Mining have followed the gold price higher and have rallied over $3.50 during the last eight trading sessions. We expect to see the $24.50 level offer the next area of resistance and look to exit long positions in that range.
