Gold futures finish lower as dollar strengthens
Jul-18-2025

Gold futures finished lower on Thursday, pressured by the stronger dollar, and dulled urgency for the Fed to cut interest rates followed by positive US economic data. Retail sales rebounded more than expected in June, while weekly initial jobless claims unexpectedly fell to a three-month low-both signalling resilience in the economy despite the impact of tariffs.

Gold futures for August delivery down by $13.80 or 0.41% to $3,345.30 an ounce on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile. Spot gold slipped by $2.56 or 0.08% to $3,336.41 an ounce.
