The buying interest in Gold dropped despite risk aversion in the equity markets across Europe and US. Prices fell to a session low of $1145.54/Oz levels.

Hovers around 5-DMA

Prices currently trade around $1147.60 (5-DMA) levels. The major European equity markets were down more than 1% earlier today and the US indices have opened lower as well. However, prices failed to capitalize on the risk-off and fell back from the session high of $1161.03 levels.

Nevertheless, the yellow metal remains on a positive footing, with the latest decline being blamed on chart driven factors – technical correction.
