"There is still a lot of optimism that growth prospects won't crumble completely and that helped trigger some profit-taking," Oanda Corporation, a registered Futures Commission Merchant and Retail Foreign Exchange Dealer with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission reported, adding they expect gold prices to form a trading range around the $2,000/ounce level.
