In der IndustrieGold hits more than one-week peak as dollar and yields slip
Gold prices climbed to their highest in more than a week on Tuesday as a weaker dollar and a drop in U.S. bond yields boosted demand for the metal.
Spot gold was up 0.1% at $1,730.46 an ounce by 0703 GMT after touching its highest since March 25 at $1,737.35.
U.S. gold futures rose 0.1% to $1,731.10.
"The strong U.S. economic data have eased concerns and have softened the dollar as a safe-haven asset, and gold is being supported because of that," said Michael McCarthy, chief market strategist at CMC Markets.
The dollar slumped to an almost two-week low against a basket of rival currencies, making gold cheaper for buyers outside the United States.
Benchmark U.S. Treasury yields slipped, moving further away from a 14-month peak hit last week, reducing the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding gold.
Better than expected recent economic readings out of the United States, meanwhile, have lifted hopes of swift recovery and drove investors towards riskier assets.
