Gold 

Fundamental Analysis: 

Yesterday, gold prices surged higher and fell as inflation concerns once supported gold prices rose to a two-month high. At the same time, the weak initial claims data and geopolitical crisis continue to attract buying into. However, a stronger dollar caused gold prices to give back gains in late trading.
