Gold prices fell on Monday, weighed down by a rebound in the US dollar and expectations of further Federal Reserve interest rate hikes to tame high inflation. As of 0352 GMT, spot gold was down 0.4% at $1,794.78 per ounce, after rising about 1.6% the previous week. Gold futures in the United States fell 0.3% to $1,810.
Although gold is seen as a hedge against inflation, rising US interest rates have diminished the appeal of non-yielding bullion.
