Gold posting fresh highs on further short covering

FXStreet (Guatemala) - Spot Gold prices have been volatile in Asia after the U.S. ended their session higher, making a three-week high on Thursday.

We have seen price action take the yellow metal even further higher in Asian markets to post a score of $1,275.53. The market has been heavily offered of late and no doubt the safe haven demand is creating an environment of short covering of the $1,267 (end of May) drop. Iraq is causing a great deal of concern and coming back into the headlines again while civil war there breaks out amid the escalating violence as Iraq government calls upon the U.S for aid.
