FXStreet (Mumbai) – Gold prices erased moderate gains ahead of the US opening bell on the back of an uptick in the USD index.
Rejected at USD 1124.7/Oz
Prices turned lower from the high of USD 1124.70/Oz levels seen in the European session, tracking the 0.5% rise in the USD index. Meanwhile, the risk-on rally across the European markets also keep a lid on the gains in the yellow metal.
