Gold in 4-month lows

Prices for Gold remain in multi-month troughs near $1,145, this time dragged lower by a strong comeback of the buying interest around the US dollar following today’s testimony by Chairwoman J.Yellen.

Furthermore, positive results from the US calendar today have also added extra legs to the dollar’s upside, hurting the USD-denominated assets as a consequence.
