The gold futures contract gained 2.99% on Wednesday as it retraced some of its recent decline. The market got back above $1,700 level again. On Tuesday a week ago it was the highest since November of 2012 and the local high was at $1,788.80. Since then we’ve seen some profit-taking action and a potential downward reversal. But gold is acting as a safe haven asset again.
