Meanwhile, yesterday’s economic data on employment, manufacturing and consumer prices pointed to a tepid recovery in the US economy and boosted hopes that the Federal Reserve’s monetary stimulus would stay in place.

Gold is expected to find support at 1566.94, and a fall through could take it to the next support level of 1550.44. Gold is expected to find its first resistance at 1592.51, and a rise through could take it to the next resistance level of 1601.58.

The yellow metal is trading just above its 20 Hr and 50 Hr moving averages.
