Gold declined Thursday as advances seen earlier in the week were erased by profit-taking and strength in the U.S. dollar.
The fear of interest rate hikes down the road combined with gold inability to follow through from Tuesday gains played a vital role in the session downturn. Gold declined hitting its weakest level in more than a week. Profit-taking made copper futures Thursday give up some of their gains from the last two days. Silver, platinum and palladium also slipped.
