Gold prices fell on Tuesday as the dollar rose against most major rivals, amid ongoing uncertainty about Fed’s policies. 

 

Recent US payrolls data showed a marked slowdown in the labor sector, which boosted the odds of multiple Fed interest rate cuts this year.

 

A batch of major tech companies, including Microsoft, Apple, Alphabet, and Meta, all reported strong profits and earnings in the first three months of 2024. 

 

Otherwise, the dollar index rose 0.3% to 105.4 as of 19:58 GMT, with a session-high at 105.4, and a low at 105.03. 

 

Gold spot prices fell 0.4% as of 19:59 GMT to $2322.30 an ounce.
