FXStreet (Mumbai) – Gold prices are struggling to extend gains over and above USD 1180/Oz levels as the US dollar index has extended gains ahead of the US opening bell.
Rejected at USD 1182.9/Oz
The metal was rejected earlier today at USD 1182.9/Oz, as the USD index inched higher to 95.50; up 0.28% for the day. Still, the yellow metal has managed to sustain the gains, trading 0.5% higher on the day, mainly on account of weakness in the major European equities and Us index futures.
