Market Commentary - BULLION, April 7th 2010

Gold closed higher on Tuesday as it extends the rally off March's low. The high-range close sets the stage for a steady to higher opening on Wednesday. Stochastics and the RSI are bullish signalling that sideways to higher prices are possible near-term. If it extends this rally, March's high crossing is the next upside target. Closes below the 10-day moving average crossing would confirm that a short-term top has been posted.
