Gold likely to be range-bound in coming week; resistance seen at $1965-1990

Gold closed the week with a gain of almost 0.10% at $1,948.46. Odds on the Federal Reserve doing a 25-bps rate hike in its upcoming June meeting are rapidly changing with rates predicted to rise from 30% to 40% after the NFP report's headline figures boosted US bond yields and the dollar index, causing gold to drop. The Federal Reserve is expected to hike rates in July, but despite strong US data, gold is predicted to trade in the range of $1,920-$1,990 due to strong support at $1,930 and $1,920 and resistance at $1,965/$1,975/$1,990.
