Gold Drifts Lower In Asia With India Demand Cues Awaited - Gold prices dipped in Asia on Thursday with demand cues sought from the upcoming festival season in India with festivals such as Diwali often seeing a spurt in buying. Overnight, gold prices fell for a third day in a row, pressured by a sharp rise in the dollar as investors continued to flee safe-haven assets amid a decline in geopolitical uncertainty. Gold prices remained on track to suffer their longest losing streak in more than month as appetite for safe-haven investments continued to fade, underpinning a move higher in both the dollar and treasury yields. Dollar-denominated assets such as gold are sensitive to moves in the dollar – A stronger dollar makes gold more expensive for holders of foreign currency and thus, reduces demand. Some analysts, however, viewed gold’s recent slump as transitory and highlighted that lower prices would attract buyers, supporting a recovery in the precious metal. Geopolitical trouble hasn't disappeared and the U.S. political landscape is still fraught with difficulties.
