Gold prices advance as fears over Greece hit riskier assets
FXStreet (Mumbai) - Gold prices extended gains for the second consecutive session as concerns regarding Greece’s futures in the Eurozone curbed risk-on buying in the markets.
Gold tests 200-DMA
Gold prices rose to the 200-DMA located at USD 1245.28 as markets believe the probability of Greece exiting the Eurozone has increased after the Greek PM took an increasingly hardline over the country’s debt. Meanwhile, the sharp decline in the Chinese CPI figure reported today triggered speculation of fresh monetary easing, which too supported Gold prices.
With the ongoing concerns surrounding Greece and a potential default, coupled with escalating conflict in Ukraine, gold prices could rise above the 200-DMA level of USD 1245.28.
