Gold testing highs above $1,170

FXStreet (Edinburgh) - The troy ounce of the yellow metal has managed to revert the recent negative streak and is now advancing above the $1,170 level.

Gold bounced off $1,160

The metal has rebounded from multi-week troughs near $1,160 posted last Friday in the wake of the Non-farm Payrolls results in the US economy. Today’s upside has been backed by a sharp pullback in the greenback and stock markets, while rising uncertainties around the EU-Greece debt talks have also collaborated with the bid tone around Gold, all amidst the end of the G7 meeting in Berlin.

Gold key levels

Gold is now up 0.45% at $1,173.30 and a surpass of $1,205 (high Jun.1) would open the door to $1,225.76 (high May 19) and finally $1,228 (high May 14). On the downside, the immediate support lines up at $1,168.70 (low Jun.8) followed by $1,162.50 (low Jun. 5) and then $1,159.40 (low Mar.19).
