Gold 

Fundamental Analysis: 

Gold prices were hit hard for the second day in a row yesterday as strong U.S. economic data reinforced the rationale for the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates in March, leading to a stronger dollar.

However, safe-haven demand for U.S. stocks remains, which may slightly ease the downtrend in gold prices.

Intraday, focus on the U.S. PCE price index for December, in addition to the German and French GDP for the fourth quarter.
