''Gold prices traded under pressure on stronger dollar and rise in bond yields,''according to HDFC Securities, Senior Analyst (Commodities), Tapan Patel. Navneet Damani, VP – Commodities Research, Motilal Oswal Financial Services said, ''Gold prices eased from near three week highs, as a rise in US Treasury yields and a firmer dollar dented the metal's safe-haven appeal, while investors awaited US CPI data due later in the day.''
