The Gold Report
Gold was indicated higher in London morning trade on Thursday, up on the back of a weak dollar and oil-related buying, a UK-based analyst said.
Spot bullion was bid at $746.55-747.05/oz at 0816 GMT on Thursday morning, gaining from its late New York spot price at $741.00/oz and from its Wednesday afternoon fix in London at $741.25/oz.
Bulliondesk.com analyst James Moore said in a morning report Thursday that the precious metals remained in positive territory "as dollar weakness and firm oil prices trigger pockets of buying."
..."Short-term gold is likely to see further consolidation. However the metal appears to have established a base above $720/oz and with the market now in the strongest period for physical demand further weakness will be limited," he said, adding that Bulliondesk.com expected gold to challenge the $800/oz level before year-end as investors continued factoring safe-haven assets into their
portfolios, with an initial target of $765/oz.
