Bullish Gold Heads for 61.8% Retracement – Weaker Dollar In Play! 

On Wednesday, the precious metal gold expanded after softer-than-expected U.S. economic figures which hiked concerns about global economic growth. Alongside this, it also raised chances of additional interest rate reductions, pushing traders towards the safe-haven metal.

The precious metal gold is still trading bullish adding 0.3% to trade at $1,483.6. Yesterday, gold slipped dramatically to place two months low at $1,458.50. However, the losses in gold were short-lived as it surged markedly as much as 1% during the late U.S. session.

The U.S. manufacturing activity dropped to a more than a decade low in September as imminent trade tautness pressures on exports. The vulnerable economic report raised global growth anxieties, leading global stock markets to a one-month low and boosting forecasts for further monetary policy easing by the U.S. Federal Reserve.

Gold – Technical Outlook

On the technical front, gold has formed a bullish engulfing candle at 1,480 area, which is suggesting strong bullish bias among traders. On the upper side, gold is likely to meet the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level of 1,492, but that’s only possible if it manages to crossover the 50% Fibo level of 1,487.
