It did not pick up as much demand relatively speaking to what we saw in the DJIA historical price lunge yesterday but gold is under pressure today with a minor correction on Wall Street. DJIA is now back above the 10-4hr SMA at 24473 while DXY trades 89.59 within 89.373 - 90.034 and +0.04%, (dented a little on the Atlanta Fed model's revision in Q1 GDP to 4% from 5.4%). In terms of future, April gold GCJ8, -0.36% dropped $5.50, or 0.4%, to $1,331/oz from a high of $1,349.30.
