Gold propped up by China

Mixed data from the US economy throughout the week plus the dovish tone in both testimonies by Chairwoman Yellen gave some oxygen to the metal in the first half of the week.

Gold key levels

At the moment the metal is advancing 0.18% at $1,212.30 with the next resistance at $1,219.80 (high Feb.26) followed by $1,222.90 (high Feb.19) and finally $1,236.40 (high Feb.16). On the downside, a break below $1,201.00 (low Feb.25) would open the door to $1,190.50 (low Feb.24) and then $1,167.30 (low Jan.2).
