#XAU/USD# Gold prices ended up $1.50 at $1708.94 on Monday, supported by the weaker performance of the US dollar on the back of easing market concerns over expectations of a 100 bps rate hike by the US Federal Reserve. Gold is likely to be sold this morning (19/7), testing the support at $1700 amid the outlook for a strengthening US dollar and high yields on US bonds. However, if it moves up until it breaks above the $1712 level, it has a chance to be bought aiming the resistance at $1714. The potential trading range for the Asian session is $1700 - $1714.
