UPDATE: Comex Gold Extends Early Losses to Challenge Key Support at $1,400.00 Level

(Kitco News) - Comex gold futures are seeing intensified selling pressure in late-morning trading Wednesday. The surging U.S. dollar index and faltering crude oil prices this week have worked against the gold market bulls. The weakening near-term technical posture of the gold market this week has also led to fresh chart-based selling pressure. The gold market bears are now working hard to push June futures prices below key technical and psychological support at the $1,400.00 level. A daily close below $1,400.00 would then open the door to a challenge of major chart support at the April spike low of $1,321.50 in June futures. June gold last traded down $20.00 an ounce at $1,404.00.
