August 21, 2012 9:34 AM EDT
SPDR Gold Shares ETF (NYSE: GLD) is higher by 1 percent early on Tuesday as gold prices hit their highest levels since June 6th. The move comes as the U.S. dollar hit a six week low.

Traders say a break of the $1630 triggers technical buying and an extended move could be in the works that would target $1675 per ounce. Gold has been trading in a very tight range for months, and today’s breakout comes as a welcome sight to traders frustrated by the lack of momentum in precious metals.

SPDR Gold Shares ETF (NYSE: GLD) currently trades at 158.82. The spot price of gold currently trades at $1637 per ounce early on Tuesday.
