Spot gold was slightly down at $2,335.13 per gram on Monday at 9.14 am UAE time.
Ole Hansen, Head of Commodity Strategy, Saxo Bank, said gold suffered a long overdue but so far modest setback, with momentum traders instead switching their attention to copper, which reached a fresh cycle high.
“Gold's aggressive rally since the mid-February low has been challenged, with bullion suffering a long overdue and relatively aggressive but healthy correction. This correction will help determine the actual level of underlying demand besides momentum and managed money accounts, which generally trade with a short-term focus. It will also reduce longs should the technical and/or fundamental picture change,” said Hansen.
Having rallied by almost $450 from the mid-February low, he said the correction currently unfolding has yet to be strong enough to challenge the traders' overall belief in higher prices.
