Article By: ,  Financial Analyst

Spain Eclipses Greece Pro-Bailout Victory. Greece avoided political chaos after pro-bailout party and victory in Sunday’s election, but that was not enough, as the market experienced one of the most disappointing and brief relief rallies one may recall, with the focus turning fully back to Spain.

Resistance: 1.2626

Euro-dollar closed in NY at 1.2577, off late session extended lows of 1.2557, with rate continuing its recovery through Asian to a high of 1.2617.

Eyes continue to watch Greece, as parties there try to form a coalition government following the weekend’s election, with Spanish debt woes also of note. Resistance is now seen at the overnight high of 1.2617 a break to open a move on toward 1.2630 ahead of 1.2650-1.2655. Support seen at 1.2580 ahead of a 1.2557.

Gold

Range: 1,626.35 – 1,630.84
Support: 1,617.30
Resistance: 1,630.14

Gold prices pinned in a narrow trading range so far. Prices have so far held around 1,626 to the downside before meeting some resistance on the session high of 1,630.59. Price action has been subdued ahead of the FOMC meeting, with many market participants on the sidelines. The FOMC are due to release a statement at the conclusion of its 2 day meeting on Wednesday, with the policy decision likely to influence the price of gold over the forthcoming sessions. Dips continue to be bought in the growing expectations that the Federal Reserve may initiate some additional QE or an extension of Operation Twist, which is due to expire at the end of June. Moderate support seen around 1,620-1,622. If the resistance barrier seen around 1,629-1,631 is cleared then prices may start heading towards the 1,658 area.
