Gold fell on Monday, ending at its lowest level in over a month after a Federal Reserve official suggested that an earlier-than-expected interest rate hike is likely.
“The weakness in gold is due to today’s comments by Boston Federal Reserve President Eric Rosengren that the Fed should hike rates sooner rather than later. This is notable since Mr. Rosengren is considered a dove,” said Mike Armbruster, co-founder of Altavest.
June gold GCM6, +0.56% shed $4.20, or 0.3%, to settle at $1,219.30, its lowest close since Feb. 22. Gold prices had ended the first quarter up 16.4%—the best gain in a calendar quarter since 1986. The SPDR Gold Trust GLD, -0.67% fell 0.6% to 116.38.
