Gold futures slip as stronger dollar, higher yields weigh
Front-month gold settles down 1.1% at $4,113.80/oz and silver falls 2.1% to $59.899/oz, with demand pressured by a firmer U.S. dollar and buoyant yields.
S. S. yields weigh on demand for the metal, with the market awaiting the Fed minutes for interest-rate guidance. Earlier gains in oil prices had pressured precious metals, given the inflationary implications of higher energy costs.
