The metal plunged 3.5% last week as the Fed disappointed investors by failing to provide any further monetary easing measures such as quantitative easing.<\/p>\n<p>Now, all eyes will be set on European Summit in Brussels, scheduled on Friday. According to a document prepared for the meeting, the European leaders are likely to discuss on cross-border banking union, closer fiscal integration and the possibility of a debt redemption fund.<\/p>\n<p>Commenting over gold\u2019s price possible range for the next few days, Hayden Atkins, analyst at Macquarie said to Reuters, \u201cThe broader picture suggests gold could move a bit lower, but it will stay in this range until we see definitively whether the bulls will be right about the printing presses at central banks ramping up again, or whether they will hold fire until the world gets a lot worse.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Atkins said that bullion investors are following a wait and watch policy for the time being and believes that next week\u2019s U.S. non-farms payroll data will be a key factor on deciding how the gold market will behave. Atkins believes if the job data turns out to be as bad as the previous one in May then gold might rally and could even touch $1600 an ounce level.<\/p>\n<p>In some other precious metal markets, <a href=\"https:\/\/thestockmarketwatch.com\/metal\/silver-price.aspx\">silver prices<\/a> were almost flat at $26.8 an ounce.<\/p>\n<p>The iShares <a href=\"https:\/\/stockmarketwatch.com\/metal\/silver-price.aspx\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"5\" title=\"silver price today\">Silver<\/a> Trust (ETF) (<a href=\"https:\/\/thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock.aspx?stock=SLV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NYSE: SLV<\/a>) is currently trading 1.80% higher at $26.62, the ProShares Ultra Silver (ETF) (<a href=\"https:\/\/thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock.aspx?stock=AGQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NYSE: AGQ<\/a>) is currently trading 3.62% higher at $38.05, and the ProShares UltraShort Silver (ETF) (<a href=\"https:\/\/stockmarketwatch.com\/markets\/nyse\/today.aspx\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"NYSE Today\">NYSE<\/a>: ZSL) is currently trading 3.83% lower at $68.23.<\/p>\n<p>Spot platinum inched up 0.2 percent at $1,430 an ounce, while spot palladium prices remained flat at $604 an ounce.<\/p>\n<div class=\"nr_clear\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"nrelate_popular_2\" class=\"nrelate nrelate_popular nrelate_default nr_1col nr_text\"><\/div>\n<p>\t<!--[if IE 6]>\n\t\t<script type=\"text\/javascript\">jQuery('.nrelate_default').removeClass('nrelate_default');<\/script>\n\t<![endif]--><\/p>\n<p>\t<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n\t\/* <![CDATA[ *\/\n\t\tnRelate.domain = \"thestockmarketwatch.com%2Fstock-market-news\";\n\t\tvar entity_decoded_nr_mp_url = jQuery('<span\/>').html(\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20120703131818\/http:\/\/api.nrelate.com\/mpw_wp\/0.51.2\/?tag=nrelate_popular&domain=thestockmarketwatch.com%2Fstock-market-news&url=http%3A%2F%2Fthestockmarketwatch.com%2Fstock-market-news%2Fgold-prices-fall-as-euro-sags-before-eu-summit-silver-prices-flat%2F29721&nr_div_number=2&maxageposts=7200&increment=1\").text();\n\t\tnRelate.getNrelatePosts(entity_decoded_nr_mp_url);\n\t\/* ]]&gt;
