Gold poised to challenge $1,920/oz

The ounce troy of Gold printed new yearly highs on Thursday just below the key $1,900 barrier. Diminishing open interest, albeit marginally, is hinting at the possibility of a correction lower in light of the recent strong advance. Further upside, however, is seen testing $1,900 and above, where coincide all-time highs recorded in August/September 2011.
