Gold prices hit as high as $1,628.60 an ounce last Friday, but settled at $1,618. Following Mario Draghi's comments German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President François Hollande on Friday both had vowed to do "everything possible to protect the euro zone." A recent article from the Wall Street Journal suggested that Federal Reserve officials were growing impatient with the economy's recovery and were moving closer to stimulus.
"Gold has shown itself sensitive to monetary policy announcements this year and any indication of further easing would buoy gold prices, we believe," said James Steel, an analyst with HSBC, in a note.
