The US currency rallied after Friday’s dive. The US dollar index, evaluating the purchasing power of the American dollar against six key currencies, tacked on by 0.19% being worth 91.48.
As a rule, the appreciation of the American dollar makes the number one precious metal less accessible to keepers of other currencies.
The previous week, the US dollar index rallied 1.37% due to the surge in yield of US government bonds and also the prospects for accelerating the Fed's interest rate lift in 2018.
The evergreen buck was backed after the previous week's revenue of 10-year US government bonds beat the psychologically important level of 3% for the first time since 2014 that strengthened forecasts of inflation surge.
At the time of writing, the yield of US ten-year bonds inched down and ended up with a reading of 2.964%.
The recent increase in profitability generated investors’ fears of accelerating of the pace of interest rate hike, which makes the profit-making gold less attractive to market participants.

According to forecasts of most market experts, as an outcome of its two-day gathering on Wednesday, the Federal Reserve is going to keep the interest rate intact after its lift in March.
