London-Sana
Gold prices retreated today as investors shifted to riskier assets as a stronger dollar weakened demand for the yellow metal.
Spot gold fell 0.3 percent to $ 1,459.94 an ounce and earlier touched the highest level since November 22, Reuters reported.
Gold futures in the United States lost 0.5 percent to $ 1,466.
Investor demand for gold has been under pressure as the dollar rises, making gold more expensive for buyers using other currencies.
For other precious metals, silver lost 0.6 percent to $ 16.93 an ounce, platinum fell 0.5 percent to $ 896, and palladium fell 0.2 percent to $ 1,838.15.
