Gold Declines on Firm DollarSingapore, 3 Nov (ONA) — Gold prices declined today, weighed down by a stronger US dollar as investors scaled back expectations for further Federal Reserve interest rate cuts. Spot gold fell 0.8% to $3,968.76 per ounce, while US gold futures for December delivery slipped 0.5% to $3,978.30 per ounce. The US dollar held firm near its three-month high reached last week, making the greenback-priced metal more expensive for holders of other currencies. The US Federal Reserve cut interest rates on Wednesday by 0.25 percentage point, marking its second rate cut this year, bringing the benchmark overnight rate to a target range of 3.75%-4.00%. Among other precious metals, spot silver dropped 0.5% to $48.41 per ounce, platinum eased 0.1% to $1,566.40, and palladium declined 0.6% to $1,424.88. —Ends/AG
