The resurgence in the dollar has weighed heavily on the precious metal, which was already seeing profit taking after recently reaching $1,800 an ounce, according to Craig Erlam, a senior market analyst at Oanda Corp. “It may just be more difficult if the dollar continues to drive higher and yields don’t ease further,” Erlam said in a note.
Spot gold fell 0.5% to $1,750.34 an ounce by 11:51 a.m. in New York after earlier dropping as much as 0.7% to the lowest intraday since July 28. The Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index jumped 0.5%. Spot silver, platinum and palladium all declined.
