Gold futures flattened in the early Asia action today after smashing
gains of nearly $20 yesterday buoyed by the rally in equities and weak
US dollar.
Wall Street scored its best session in more than two
months yesterday helped by upbeat housing data and increasing confidence
that a U.S. budget deal would be reached to avoid the so-called “fiscal
cliff.”
European stocks likewise saw a strong advance, with many of the region’s main indexes closing more than 2% higher.
Today,
Asian stocks rose Tuesday after an overnight rally for global stocks on
optimism the U.S. fiscal-cliff will be averted, though higher
valuations after recent gains and a pre-market downgrade of France’s
credit rating helped cap gains.
Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index added
0.9%, Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 and South Korea’s Kospi rose 0.5%
each, and Taiwan’s Taiex gained 0.3%. Japan’s Nikkei Stock Average rose a
modest 0.1% after leading market gains over the past few sessions,
while China’s Shanghai Composite Index slipped 0.1% after a higher
opening.
During the Tokyo midday break, the Bank of Japan released
its latest policy decision, keeping its interest-rate target and
asset-buying program unchanged.
Gold for December delivery is
trading flat at $1,734.7 an ounce on the Comex division of the New York
Mercantile Exchange on Monday. Yesterday, it rose $19.7 (1.2%) to settle
at $1,734.4 an ounce rising to as high as $1,735.8 during intraday
trading.
