Gold continues to trend higher, benefiting from a cooling US dollar and stable Fed interest rates. These two main factors act as powerful levers for the rapid rise in gold prices since the 1933 weakness of the US dollar.
Year-to-date, gold has gained nearly 500 pips in the past week and is approaching resistance at $1,996. To return to the 2010 USD peak, gold will need to maintain its current price stability. Strong support for gold will be at $1,990.
