Gold: En route to $1800?
Gold’s price action was inconclusive on Thursday amidst a small increase in open interest. Against that, some near-term consolidation is not ruled out ahead of the probable continuation of the decline. The next contention area, in the meantime, remains at the key $1800 region per ounce troy.
