Globally, gold was trading at $2,496.83 per ounce, down 0.24 per cent at 9.08am.
Nick Cawley, senior strategist at dailyFX, said he typically takes a contrarian view to crowd sentiment, and the fact traders are net-long suggests gold prices may continue to fall.
Alex Kuptsikevich, senior market analyst at the FxPro, said: “If we take a look beyond the charts, gold's short-term fate will be determined by the Fed's monetary policy outlook: how much it will cut interest rates before the end of the year. The monthly employment report on September 6th and the CPI on the 11th will help clarify the answer.”
