Gold is Glittering at Levels That Were Last Seen in April of 2018

Today the precious metal reached 1329.96, which is the highest level we have seen thus far in 2019, and was last trading at this price on the 25th of April, of last year.

This strong uptrend has been driven mostly by investor fears over the US/China trade war, however, the two countries are currently holding negotiations to lay down an agreement and ease up the tensions.

Despite the limited information, as to how the negotiations are proceeding, the market is waiting to see what the resolution would be. Considering the fact that the Gold is trading dangerously close to the overbought area (the Relative Strength Index is currently staying at 68.23, with the overbought level beginning at 70.00), and a more than likely positive outcome from the US/China trade deliberations, the Gold rally might be reverted into bearish territory later on this week.
