Gold slightly depreciated in value today, as the dollar recouped some of its lost ground against the euro.<br/><br/>Spot gold stood at $425.10/425.60 per troy ounce this morning, down from $425.65/426.40 on Wednesday.<br/><br/>A widening of the US trade deficit sent the dollar even lower on Wednesday and pushed the price of gold to $427.35.<br/><br/>Gold traditionally has an inverse relationship with the dollar. One dealer commented: "Yesterday's jump was all on the back of the trade figures -- the euro rally seems to have run out of steam now so I wouldn't be surprised if gold drifted back towards $422 today."<br/><br/>James Moore of TheBullionDesk.com said: "For the moment, gold should find support around $425/426 with resistance seen between $430-32, but I think we will see gold work back towards $432-45 before heading back towards $455-58."<img src="http://directnews.dehavilland.co.uk/dn.gif?feedid=196&itemid=7556940"/>
