London, December 27 (QNA) – Gold prices rose on Tuesday as a dip in the dollar made bullion less expensive for buyers holding other currencies, although trading was thin after the weekend.

Spot gold was up 0.4% at $1,804.99 per ounce. US gold futures rose 0.4% to $1,811.90.

The dollar index slipped 0.3% against its rivals.

Gold has risen nearly $200 since falling to a more than two-year low in late September, as expectations about slower interest rate hikes from the US Federal Reserve dimmed the dollars allure. (QNA)
