Gold trading at seven week low on Greek debt deal, China holiday

Today Gold is trading around USD 1,200-an ounce, lowest in seven weeks, metal eased after a deal was struck over Greece's debt, while the absence of major consumer China also took a toll.

Eurozone finance ministers reached an agreement to extend heavily indebted Greece's financial rescue by four months, officials on both sides said.

The deal removes the immediate risk of Greece running out of money next month and possibly being forced out of the single currency area.

China is the number 2 gold consumer, which has been shut since Wednesday for the Lunar New Year holiday, removing a key support for bullion.
