Yahoo Finance Gold Price Prediction for January 15, 2018
Gold prices broke out as the dollar weakened following soft CPI report that paved the way for higher gold prices. Prices are poised to test target resistance near the September highs at 1,358. Support is seen near the 10-day moving average at 1,318. Momentum is positive as the MACD (moving average convergence divergence) histogram prints in the black with an upward sloping trajectory which points to higher prices.
