Gold rally faltered,
with bullion set for the first back-to-back loss in a month, as rising
share markets pared demand for a haven.
Bullion for immediate
delivery fell as much as 0.9 percent to $1,226.68 an ounce and traded at
$1,228.34 at 8:55 a.m. in Singapore, according to Bloomberg generic
pricing. The metal lost 0.7 percent on Friday after surging to $1,263.48
on Feb. 11, the highest level since February 2015.
Gold has been the best
performer on the Bloomberg Commodity Index this year, up 16 percent, as
a weakening global economy spurred demand and investors priced in
reduced odds of the Federal Reserve increasing U.S. borrowing costs.
Equity markets gained on Monday after a rebound in oil at the end of
last week spearheaded a revival in risk appetite. China’s financial
markets reopen after a week-long break.
