FUNDAMENTALS	
    * Spot gold edged up 29 cents to $1,745.19 an ounce
by 0041 GMT, after rallying 1.5 percent in the previous session.	
    * U.S. gold was nearly flat at $1,748.50.	
    * Greek political parties delayed again on Tuesday making
the tough choice of accepting painful reforms in return for a
new international bailout to avoid a chaotic default, seemingly
deaf to EU warnings that the euro zone can live without Athens.
 	
    * Though hopes for a deal helped send the euro to an
eight-week high against the dollar and lift commodities on
Tuesday, risk remains that the negotiations might collapse. 
  	
    * Investors should be underweight equities while favouring
"selected commodities" such as gold and oil due to the fragile
state of the global economy and brewing geopolitical risks, said
Mohamed El-Erian, CEO and co-chief investment officer of bond
fund giant PIMCO.

    MARKET NEWS	
    * U.S. stocks rose slightly on Tuesday, but with the outcome
of discussions on a bailout package for Greece uncertain,
investors are unlikely to make big bets in coming days. 	
    * The euro was holding near a two-month peak in Asia on
Wednesday, as hopes that Greece was nearer a debt deal sparked a
broad short-covering rally and a pick up in risk sentiment.
