XAU — Gold Prices Edge Higher as Dollar Eases Slightly

Spot gold prices saw a modest increase of 0.1%, reaching $4,032.59 per ounce in recent trading. The slight uptick was supported by a minor retreat in the U.S. dollar index, which fell by 0.08% to 101.33. A weaker dollar typically makes gold, which is priced in the currency, more attractive to buyers holding other currencies.
