Technical Analysis

Preference: Sell position is envisaged if price trades below 1968.21 with take profit at key level 1962.40.

Alternative scenario: Buy if price trades above 1986.05 with take profit at 2003.49.

Fundamentals:

No major economic data with direct bearing on the commodity

Comment: The yellow metal has seen peaks of historical levels thanks to the weak dollar, and the US law maker's uncertainty concerning the new stimulus package bill in congress. As time pass by investors feel there is optimism that Congress would get their acts together and pass the bill. So we are seeing a slow but steady rise in the dollar.
