The precious metal gold has gained for the 3rd consecutive trading day. It has added more than 100 points to trade at $1251. The Bulls have appeared mainly due to the slump in the greenback seeing as it has fallen to the 8- month lows.

It has triggered the demand for dollar-denominated gold as the investors are uncertain about why the Senate delayed the vote on Trump's new healthcare bill that would essentially replace Obamacare. The combination of a softer buck and dipping equity markets underpinned the precious metal.
