Trade in a generally subdued Asian session was contained within a tight 1.6110.6130 range and seen struggling to edge higher in tandem with euro-dollar and thus allowing euro-sterling to break out of its overnight range of 0.8155-0.8161 to 0.81675, as this rate extends its recovery off Monday’s lows at 0.8149.

Gold
Range: 1,634.31 – 1638.57
Support: 1,634.39
Resistance: 1,642.03

Gold prices remained in a tight range overnight 1,634.31 – 1,638.57 after skidding lower in European trading in reaction to renewed strains in the eurozone with uncertainly of the French presidential election and difficult decisions in the Netherlands. Also poor reports of physical demand from Indian merchants are not helping matters to mount a convincing price rally. Gold also continues to be influenced by the tone of this week’s FOMC rate decision on Wednesday. Support now looks at 1,634.39, 1,626.75 and 1,614.40 with resistance at 1,642.03, 1,646.75 and 1,654.38.
