After completing a solid week of gains, the August Gold futures awaited the outcome of elections in Greece. Sunday night brought positive news early after the Greek vote was finalized, but the euphoria wore off quickly following news in Spain regarding high borrowing costs and bad loans that plague the future of the Spanish economy. Traders were buyers in most sectors early in the overnight session, then heavy sellers as we near the open of the US equity markets. The US Dollar and the Euro have already traded in very wide ranges over the last few hours. Continue reading "Chart of the Week - Gold"
