as it ended yesterday’s session in the red at $1721.70 after printing a a daily high at $1737.73 ( with our long resistance target at $1738) as U.S government bond yields fell and a stronger greenback suppressed further gains as unemployment filings came in higher than expected.

Support: 1717.5 / 1708.5
Resistance: 1730 / 1738 / 1744
