They also tend to boost the dollar in which gold is priced. On Monday spot gold was down 0.3% at $1209.47 an ounce, whereas gold futures for August delivery were 0.1% down at $1209 an ounce. On Wednesday gold rose to spot gold rate 0.3% at $1220.58 an ounce whereas US gold futures for August delivery were at $ 1219.80 an ounce. However on Thursday gold steadied as weaker dollar and less US yields support the gold prices. As weaker US currency makes dollar priced gold cheaper for non US investors. Spot gold rates were $1219.70 an ounce whereas US gold futures for August delivery were $ 1218.80 an ounce.
