Patra alex 17:17 ... alex, i have no clue. Actually we are range trading inn between 620 and 630.
600-620 looks like strong support ... above 630 looks like strong resistance.
With the broads rallying (only sheep and lemmlings or very smart shortterm traders buy the broads here imho) gold should have had more upside bias - so a bit bearish on gold here. Yet if the broads continue to rally also gold could go up a bit.
Next week aug 22 iran responding to UN is a key event imho.
If 620 holds until then ... da big boyz are accumulating.

PPI Numbers Lead To Dollar Sell-off
U.S. Treasury 10-year notes rose the most in a month today after the PPI report showed a slowing inflation. Core producer prices fell 0.3%, compared to a projected 0.2% increase. Although bonds rose sharply on the inflation data released today, tomorrow's consumer price index report is considered to be more important in determining the true inflationary situation. If inflation is seen to be contained in tomorrow's report, investors would be more secure in a bond move to the upside.
The dollar fell the most in over two weeks today against the yen and euro after the PPI report showed that inflation might not be a problem for the Fed. Without inflation, the Fed has no need to raise rates in the next meeting, which would hurt the dollar on the global market. Japan and Europe are both expected to raise rates before the year is out, bearish news for the dollar. The dollar has fallen 7.4% for the year against the euro and 1.5% for the year against the yen. A separate report showed an increase in foreign investments into the US, but investor action revolved around the PPI numbers. The CPI report due out tomorrow will give investors more data for wagers on a Fed increase in September.
Crude oil futures fell 0.6% to close at $73.10 after the second day of ceasefire in the Middle East eased supply concerns. Investors have been closely following the war in Lebanon since it began, afraid that an escalation could lead to Iran's involvement. Natural gas traded with fractional change.
The metals fell across the board with the energies. Gold dropped nearly 1%, silver fell 0.6% and copper dropped 0.3%. Aluminum stood out as a winner today, closing up 0.3%.
Softs traded mixed today. Cocoa was up 0.25%, coffee rose 2%, orange juice dropped fractionally and sugar rose 2.3%.
The grains traded flat to mixed today. Corn traded flat, wheat rose 0.75%, soy traded flat and oats rose 0.3%.
Meats traded mixed, with cattle down fractionally and potbellied pigs up 2.5%.
