Gold Rises For The Third Day in a Row

Gold prices rose for a third consecutive session on Thursday as a weaker dollar lifted the allure of bullion, while investors assessed whether rising inflation would prompt central banks to raise interest rates sooner than expected.

Spot gold rose 0.1 percent to $1,782.70 an ounce, and US gold futures rose 0.1 percent to $1,786.40, and bullion prices have been trading between $1,748 an ounce and $1,800 an ounce so far this month. On Thursday, the dollar hovered near a three-week low, pushing the metal closer to the higher end of this broad range.
