- Gold rose on Monday, buoyed by safe-haven demand due to uncertainty
over U.S. policy ahead of President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration
and amid concerns over Britain's exit from the European Union.
Spot gold had risen 0.5 percent to $1,203.10 per ounce by 0243 GMT.
U.S. gold futures were up 0.6 percent at $1,203.60 per ounce.
"Buying
shows that people are looking ahead this week with Trump's inauguration
and discussions on Brexit. There is a lot of uncertainty moving
forward," said Brian Lan, managing director at Singapore-based gold
dealer GoldSilver Central.
"On
the physical side, people are expecting good demand from China ahead of
the Chinese New Year," Lan said. The Lunar New Year falls later this
month
"We expect gold to retest $1,205-$1207 again and breaching this might see $1,220 as the next level."
Spot
gold faces strong resistance at $1,205-$1,210 per ounce and it may
hover below that or retrace towards support at $1,172, according to
Reuters technical analyst Wang Tao.
All
eyes will be on Trump's inauguration on Friday for any clarity on his
economic plans, with investors often turning to gold as a so-called
safe-haven in times of economic uncertainty.
Trump's
campaign calls for tax cuts and more infrastructure spending have
boosted U.S. shares and the dollar, as well as driving a selloff in
Treasuries, but his protectionist statements and a flurry of
off-the-cuff Tweets have kept many investors from adding to risky
positions.
Meanwhile,
Prime Minister Theresa May on Tuesday will call on Britons to reject
the acrimony of the Brexit referendum in a speech that some newspapers
have billed as setting the stage for a "hard" exit from the EU.
Investors
have been enticed into gold this month as questions over Federal
Reserve policy and the Trump administration drive a bigger than usual
January bounce in a beaten-down market.
Hedge
funds and money managers in the week to Jan. 10 raised their net long
position in COMEX gold contracts for the first time in nine weeks, U.S.
Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) data showed on Friday.
Inflation,
industrial production and housing data dominate a holiday-shortened
week in the United States. The reports are expected to show the economy
ended 2016 with strong momentum.
Fed
Chair Janet Yellen will have an opportunity to lay out her thinking
with speeches on monetary policy on both Wednesday and Thursday this
week.
Gold
is highly sensitive to rising U.S. interest rates, which increase the
opportunity cost of holding the non-yielding asset while boosting the
dollar, in which it is priced.
Spot silver rose 0.3 percent to $16.84 an ounce.
Platinum prices were firm at $983.85, while palladium fell 0.4 percent to $746.47.
