Turbulent Start for Gold in Asian Trading Amid Dollar Uncertaint

In early Asian trading, gold is experiencing a slight decline, possibly due to a technical pullback. Gold prices showed strength overnight as the dominant dollar trade appeared to lose momentum, according to Edward Moya, an analyst at Oanda. Looking forward, Moya points out several potential catalysts for the week, such as the release of U.S. inflation and retail sales figures, the looming possibility of a United Auto Workers strike, and the European Central Bank's policy meeting, which could impact the dollar's standing. Currently, spot gold is trading 0.1% higher at $1,920.72 per ounce.
