– Gold prices fell to an over one-week low on Monday, as the dollar firmed and talks about the new US coronavirus aid package showed no signs of progress. Spot gold fell 0.1% to $1,898.28 per ounce by 0347 GMT, after hitting $1,890.19, its lowest since Oct. 15. US gold futures were down 0.3% at $1,899.30. “In the near-term, there seems to be a lack of impetus to find extra buyers,” an analyst tells Reuters. “A lot of it is because we’re trading in the looming shadow of the US elections and stimulus speculation.”
