Gold waffled around both sides of unchanged today as early attempts to rally were dampened by soft US data, weakness in equities and fresh evidence pointing toward a "no deal" outcome in Washington. As suggested in the mid day coverage the gold market didn't seem to take much guidance from news of an increase in Russian Central Bank gold reserves and gold also didn't seem to be poised to fully embrace its safe haven or flight to quality potential. Minimally adverse currency market action and weakness in other physical commodities might have discouraged some would-be buyers but it is also possible that some traders became risk averse because of the lack of progress in Washington.
