Gold Settled $12.80 Higher ... ($1771.30)

Today's April Gold Futures contract traded $23.50 range as traders and investors continue to choose Gold as their safe haven investment choice. The geo-political tension with Iran has traders concerned that the volatile situation may escalate into a warring environment. And as we Gold bugs are aware a warring environment especially in an Oil producing region traditionally is very "bullish" for Gold. The session traded a very tight range as the April contract ranged between $1750.00 & $1758.00 until 12::00 noon before rallying $1774.20 shortly before the session closed. As of this post the April Globex market traded as high as $1783.40.
