NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Gold prices recovered Thursday after a two-day selloff as lower prices triggered "bargain hunting."
Gold for February delivery added $9.60 to $1,392.80 an ounce at the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange. The gold price traded as high as $1,395.60 and as low as $1,381.10 during Thursday's session.

The U.S. dollar index was rising 0.07% to $80.08 while the euro was slipping 0.28% to $1.32 vs. the dollar. The spot gold price was up $5.70, according to Kitco's gold index.
This price seesaw though should continue for the rest of the year. "Short term I think we get more of the same," says Jon Nadler, senior analyst at Kitco.com, "which is volatility [and] wild swings ... if key support levels are broken at $1,370 and lower, we could have a more meaningful correction."
George Gero, senior vice president at RBC Capital Markets, was expecting gold futures could see more margin selling Thursday and lower prices Friday as traders are "evening out in a down week."
Nadler suggests traders or investors who were overweight gold could lighten up on gold positions at record high prices, but he still advocates that 10% of one's portfolio be in gold for the next 20 to 30 years.
Gold also got a boost as uncertainty popped up in regards to the tax deal, which now looks to have reached a standstill in the House. The House Democratic caucus voted on Thursday to reject President Obama's tax deal as it was "currently written." Traders had been excited about the extension of the Bush tax cuts, unemployment benefits and business credits hoping it would jumpstart the economy. Markets don't like uncertainty and gold prices were benefiting.
Gold was also fulfilling its role Thursday as a safe-haven asset on eurozone issues and tension between North and South Korea. Fitch downgraded Ireland's debt rating to BBB+ with a stable outlook. Irish parliament will vote on the proposed austerity measure next week, which is expected to provide $8 billion worth of tax hikes and spending cuts so the country can secure its $113 billion loan from the International Monetary Fund/European Union.
