Euro advanced sharply against the U.S dollar after the International Monetary Fund said that it could expand its capacity to 1 trillion dollars from 385 billion dollar in order to support the global economy and prevent the debt crisis from spreading outside the euro-area region.
Accordingly, we should expect more fluctuations for gold, but should the current pessimism persist, we should expect gold prices to extend the rallies, however, the level of uncertainty is very high, and investors are ought to remain cautious.
