Gold price fell to a fresh five-month low, on a stronger dollar and increased expectations that the Federal Reserve would raise U.S. interest rates next month says Dow Jones.
Spot gold prices were down 0.48% at $1,208.48 a troy ounce in mid-morning trade, the lowest price since early June, after trading at a nine-month low earlier in the day.
The WSJ Dollar Index, which tracks the greenback against a basket of other currencies, was up 0.12% Friday, after gaining for nine consecutive days.
A stronger dollar is typically bearish for gold and other dollar-denominated commodities, because it makes them more expensive for buyers holding other currencies.
