"Limited support came from rising Treasury bonds as lower energy prices ease concerns about inflation and reduce the need for additional Fed tightening. Instead, gold's unusually strong positive correlation with the S&P 500 continues to weigh on prices, pushing the metal into the key USD 4,000-4,100 support zone."The dollar continued its rise early, with the ICE dollar index last seen up 0.22 points to 101.63, the highest in more than a year.
