Gold is now down by 0.7 % to $ 1.244/onz at 18:18 pm. Gold for February contract fell by 1.1 % to $ 1.243/onz on the Comex in New York.
Gold has slumped 26% this year on speculation that the Fed will soon reduce the monthly bond purchases of $ 85 billion following the improving economy.
Commodity Gold retreated for a second day in London session on fears that the Federal Reserve will reduce monetary easing as U.S. lawmakers reach a budget deal. Speculation reduction of monetary stimulus that has made gold plunged 25 % so far this year.
Gold prices look back pressure , when the press conference conducted by the Fed stating that the central bank has cut its bond purchase program by $ 10 billion, to $ 75 billion per month of $ 85 billion per month.

SPDR Gold Trust, the biggest exchange traded gold , fell by 0.3 % to 833.60 tons yesterday, the lowest level since January 2009 , and to contract by 38 % this year.

Data from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission showed bearish gold position of the hedge fund and money managers touching its highest level in 7-1/2 years, they move to close the short position was made ​​of gold rose at the beginning of the month.

The expected fall back towards the 1180 target did not take long, falling from 1245 – pre FOMC – to a low of 1192, before a deadcat bounce. I think selling Gold is possibly the best trade on the board and early next year I am looking for a run towards the 100 Month MA at 1105 and possibly lower to about 1080. Nearer home, 1180 may well hold it up today, and if we see a rally towards 1220 I think it would provide a good sell opportunity. However ahead of the weekend now, caution please.
