Gold prices inched higher on signs of weakness in the European equities even though Greek fears continue to subside.

Safe haven demand may return on weak European equities

The metal may see a rise in safe haven demand as the major European equity futures are trading in the red. The German Dax futures are trading 0.22% lower, while Cac futures are down 0.43%. Meanwhile, London’s Ftse futures are down 0.19%. 

Meanwhile, the gains could be capped as Greek fears continue to subside. Moreover, reports are doing the rounds that the newly elected government is planning to repay debt to the European Central Bank.
