Gold inches lower ahead of the US Advance Retail Sales data
FXStreet (Mumbai) - Gold dipped below USD 1150/Oz levels ahead of the release of the US advance retail sales number for October, tracking a rise in the US Dollar index.
The yellow metal traded 1.02% lower at USD 1149.50/Oz levels at the time of writing as the US Dollar index gained 0.31% to trade at 88.11 levels.
