At the end of Wednesday's trading session, spot gold contracts decreased 1.3% to 1,875.79 USD/oz. Gold futures contracts lost 1.4% to 1,893.5 USD/oz.
The prospect of higher US interest rates for longer has sent investors flocking to the safe-haven dollar, making gold more expensive for foreign buyers.
Contributing to reducing the attractiveness of gold, US Government bond yields also still fluctuate near a 16-year peak.
“As long as the higher-for-longer-term narrative persists, it will continue to pressure precious metals,” said Ryan McKay, commodity strategist at TD Securities. Falling below 1,900 USD/oz led to technical selling pressure.
“If inflation data continues to be strong, that will be another thing that is negative for gold,” Mr. McKay said.
