Gold prices continued to fall at the start of Asian trading, following losses of more than 1% recorded during Friday's session. The decline comes amid persistent inflationary pressures in the United States, fueling expectations that the Federal Reserve could raise interest rates again and maintain a tighter monetary policy.
Spot gold dropped 0.4% to $4,006.06 per ounce, while US gold futures for December delivery slipped 0.3% to $4,018.50 per ounce
