Investing.com - Gold futures edged higher on Wednesday, amid ongoing concerns about crises in Ukraine and Gaza.
On the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange, gold for August delivery eased up 0.08%, or $1.00, to trade at $1,307.70 a troy ounce during European morning hours. Prices held in a tight range between $1,305.60 and 1,309.30.
Futures were likely to find support at $1,298.10, the low from July 17 and resistance at $1,325.50, the high from July 18.
