Eyes key fib support

The metal is trading within a touching distance from USD 1120.60/Oz, which is the 61.8% of Jul low to Oct high move. The US factory orders contracted 1% as expected, thereby offering no surprise to the markets.

Consequently, the metal hardly batted an eye.
Ahead in the day, Draghi’s speech could trigger sharp moves in EUR/USD and affect overall demand for the US dollars, thereby affecting the yellow metal accordingly.
