The gold futures contract gained 0.88% on Tuesday, as it further extended its last Friday’s advance. The market got closer to $1,800 mark. Last week’s Powell’s testimonies on Wednesday, Thursday and his Friday’s speech didn’t bring any new surprises for the financial markets. But gold broke above the recent local highs, as we can see on the daily chart:
