FXStreet (Mumbai) - Gold trades flat as the strong US dollar ensured the bulls stayed on the sidelines even though the optimism surrounding the Greek deal faded in the Asian session.
Gold capped at hourly 200-MA
The metal struggled to extend gains above the hourly 200-MA located at USD 1187.23/Oz. Moreover, the uptick in the US dollar capped gains in the metal. The USD index rose 0.67% higher to 95.15 in the Asian session.
Moreover, the demand for the USD spiked in the Asian session as investors await more definite comments from Brussels regarding Greek deal. Consequently, the safe haven metal could not strengthen.
