Gold lost 0.62% as greenback remained strong despite negative figures from the US economy. Meanwhile, the yellow metal may seek support on improving physical demand from central banks and mounting hopes that the Fed will announce more stimulus measures at its next-month meeting.
Silver retreated on mixed global equities and solid greenback. The grey metal also tracked losses of the precious metal's group.
Platinum and Palladium traded lower amid persistent worries over upcoming tax hikes and spending cuts in the US. However, an expected deficit on the market next year limited losses of the metals.
