Gold’s safe-haven demand may edge higher on expectations that the virus outbreak in China may pressure the already weakened global economy. Weaker global equities due to the large scale risk aversion may also assist the yellow metal. At the same time, a stable dollar and limited physical market activities may limit major gains in the overseas market.
On the technical side, as long as prices stay above $1,568 expect rallies to continue with strong resistance is seen at $1,592 followed by $1,610 levels. A direct drop below $,1548 would negate any bullish expectation.
