Support for gold vanished as a solid Greenback weighed on investor appetite. The U.S. dollar is supported by strong U.S. economic data and outlook for higher interest rates. Higher U.S. rates tend to support the greenback, in which the metal is priced. Most recent figures suggest continued vulnerability for gold amid a stronger buck.

China pledged on Thursday to counter if the United States moved on a threat to boost tariffs on the Asian nation’s exports.
