Gold prices traded near their lowest levels in more than three weeks, as the dollar and bond yields strengthened.
The dollar rose to a four-week high, making gold more expensive for holders of other currencies. Yields on 10-year US bonds also rose to their highest levels since November 2022.
The USD Index, a measure of the greenback's strength against other major currencies, is currently at 102.4, up 3.2% from the beginning of July.
The market's attention is being turned towards the US Non-Farm jobs report to be released at 7:30 am today 4/8.
