Gold declines on profit taking and on a stronger U.S. dollar
Gold price declined on profit taking and on a stronger U.S. dollar. The U.S. dollar rose against other currencies on the U.S. retail sales data. The U.S. Commerce Department released the retail sales data on Friday. The U.S. retail sales increased 0.2% in January, exceeding expectations for a 0.1% rise, after a 0.2% gain in December. December's figure was revised up from a 0.1% decrease.
The increase was mainly driven by a rise in sales at auto dealerships, sales at clothing retailers and sales at building material and garden equipment stores.
