Daily Gold News: Gold Price Fluctuates Ahead of Fed Talk

In this article:

The gold futures contract gained 0.58% on Wednesday, as it continued to trade within a short-term consolidation following last Friday’s sell-off of 4.1%. In late November the market has reached new local low below $1,800 price level. Since then it has been retracing the decline. Last week, the yellow metal got closer to its early November local high but then it has retraced the whole advance, as we can see on the daily chart ( the chart includes today’s intraday data ):
