Gold up

Bengaluru : Gold prices inched up on Thursday, still hovering near a one-week low hit in the previous session when a rebound in the dollar pushed bullion to its biggest one-day fall in nearly nine months.

Spot gold rose 0.2 percent to $1,327.20 per ounce at 0152 GMT.

Prices fell 1.5 percent on Wednesday, their biggest one-day percentage decline since July 3, 2017. U.S. gold futures for April delivery rose 0.2 percent to $1,326.50 per ounce.

The dollar held firm against the yen on Thursday, helped in part by hopes of easing tensions in East Asia.

The dollar index , which measures the greenback against six other major currencies, was steady at 90.039.

Asian stocks edged up amid perceived progress on North Korean tensions, although equity gains were limited after a tech-led retreat on Wall Street.
