Gold prices for August delivery fell 0.24%, or $4.8, to $1,966.1 an ounce at 10:13 am Makkah time.

 

Spot prices decreased 0.3%, or $5.98, to $1,963.55.

 

Silver futures for September delivery fell 0.15% to $24.93 per ounce, and spot platinum prices stabilized at $959.63.

 

The dollar index, which measures the performance of the US currency against a basket of six major currencies, rose 0.12% to 101 points.
