Commodity investors are waiting for the US jobless claims data on Thursday and non-farm payroll numbers on Friday for the further direction.
“We need to get a sense from the payrolls report on what is the immediate steer on US Fed policy,” said Ilya Spivak, currency strategist at DailyFX.
"Yields have eased back a bit since the start of the week. But the dollar is range-bound, it hasn't been able to build momentum and hasn't fallen off ... that has been reflected in gold," Spivak told Reuters.
The US 10-year Treasury yield slipped below 1.60 per cent, reducing the opportunity cost of holding non-interest bearing gold.
