Technical take on Gold (XAU)
Due to international political uncertainty, we have seen Gold break through the $1300/ ounce level as of yesterday, 28/08/2017. Today there have been reports of North Korea firing a missile over Japan which I would suspect will see the flight to safety escalate and the gold price increase.
Just take note that the price might retrace back to the $1300/ounce level, to find support and move higher from there.
Trade: Gold (XAU)
- ENTRY Long (Buy): $1316/ ounce
- STOP: $1274/ ounce
- TARGET PRICE 1: $1352/ ounce
- TARGET PRICE 2: $1390/ ounce
Always remember to apply your risk management measures before placing your trades as this will keep you trading in the markets.
