Gold Recovers Above $1810

The XAU/USD Index has managed to hold above $1800, more gains could lead to a test of $1830. Gold prices are rising on Tuesday after strengthening during the American session even as US yields remain high.

Gold recently climbed to 1814$, reaching a fresh daily high, trimming Monday’s losses and is attempting to recover levels above 1815$.

If the bounce to the upside in gold continues, the next level to watch is the $1830 resistance area. A close clearly above 1830$ would suggest more gains ahead for the precious metal.

The move higher has been driven by an improvement in risk sentiment and also by a broad-base US dollar decline during the American session. The DXY reversed from weekly highs and is now slightly above 96.00, down 0.15% for the day.

Economic data from the US came in below expectation with the December ISM Manufacturing Index at 58.7 below the expected 60.2 and under the 61.1 of the previous months.

On Wednesday, the ADP employment report is due and also the Fed will release the minutes from its latest FOMC meeting. The key event will be Friday with the Non-Farm Payroll report.
