Gold prices remained at a $1,300 level on Tuesday as the prices were up $1.20 to $1,300.50 an ounce in December. September silver had a one cent increase to $19.64 an ounce. Gold had a 0.5 per cent drop the day before as experts predict that gold will stay on the same levels for the near future.
“This is the middle of the recent ranges and I don’t see it moving far from here for the time being. Look to carry on range trading, unless by some miracle, all the tensions in the world are sorted out.
