Gold extends gains to above $2,350 as dollar weakens further

The EUR/USD is edging ever closer to another test of its 50 day moving average (now at 1.0779). The GBP/USD is higher now too and the impact of some further US employment data has not served the US currency too well just now. The latest weekly jobless claims numbers were a little higher than forecast and that seems to have dented the dollar a bit more. Against this backdrop and slight relapse now in the USD/JPY, Gold has taken advantage of this and driven further home the technical break seen earlier today. An earlier update here noted it rising above any resistance from its 50 day moving average (around 2,338) and that breakout has now extended to above $2,355 a short while ago. Gold is currently trading at $2,354.90
