In the international market, gold prices fell more than 1% on Friday, weighed down by a jump in U.S. Treasury yields and a rebound in the dollar, but bullion was still on course for its first weekly gain in three weeks.
Spot gold was 0.7% lower at $1,744.07 per ounce by 1:44 p.m. EDT (1744 GMT), having hit its highest price since March 1 at $1,758.45 on Thursday. For the week, however, prices were up about 0.9%, according to Reuters. Earlier on April 7, gold rates had remained unchanged in the domestic market on Wednesday.
