GOLD UPDATES 24.07.2012

• Gold slipped on Monday as Spain's economic


troubles fueled euro zone debt fears, but safe-haven

bids helped bullion outperform equities and

commodities and lifted the metal off its lows.

• Earlier in the session, gold came under pressure

from tumbling U.S. equities and crude oil after Spain

said it sank deeper into recession in the second

quarter, pushing the euro zone's fourth-largest

economy closer to a full bailout.

• The metal later pared losses, moving in tandem with

a rebound in the euro after the International

Monetary Fund said it would start discussions with

the Greek authorities on July 24 on how to bring

Greece's economic program back on track.

• Worries about a global economic slowdown and

deflation sent bullion toward $1,560 an ounce

several times last week but gold managed to hold

each time. The metal has been moving in a range

between $1,527 and $1,655 in the past three

months.
