Gold prices added to recent gains and broken high of $1275 made on Apr 11th 2017 on account of geopolitical tension in Syria and North Korea.

Donald Trump said that U.S dollar is too strong and it will ultimately affect the economy. U.S dollar index broken 21- day EMA and declined till 100.01. Any break below 100 will drag the index down till 99.60/99.25. Minor weakness can be seen only below 100 level.
On the higher side, any break above $1279 (61.8% retracement of $1375 and $1122) will take the yellow metal till $1306 (161.8% retracement of $1263.87 and $1195.12)/$1332.
