Ammon News - Gold prices climbed on Tuesday to their highest level in more than a month, supported by a weaker U.S. dollar and lower Treasury yields, as investors looked for progress in trade talks ahead of an August 1 deadline.
Spot gold was little changed at $3,389.98 per ounce, as of 0503 GMT. Earlier in the session, bullion hit its highest level since June 17.
U.S. gold futures held their ground at $3,402.90.
"Gold's move on the upside has been pretty much supported by positive technicals and as well as reinforced by a broad base of dollar weakness," OANDA senior market analyst Kelvin Wong said.
The U.S. dollar index was hovering near a more than one-week low against its rivals, making greenback-priced gold less expensive for other currency holders.
Benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury yields hit a more than one-week low on Monday.
Spot silver fell 0.5% to $38.71 per ounce, platinum added 0.3% to $1,442.55 and palladium fell 1.3% to $1,250.19. Reuters
