Due to excessive speculation activities, gold demand failed to increase despite a downgrade of Italian debt rating by Standard & Poor’s, with global gold prices closing lower overnight. Shanghai gold prices opened much lower today, and fluctuated downward with losses slightly narrowing at the tail of trading. SMM expects gold to maintain downward fluctuation in the short term as investors are closely watching the two-day interest rate meeting of US Fed.
