The precious metals had surged earlier in the day, as a softening dollar and slowing economy usually boost gold, which is regarded as a hedge against inflation. Profit-taking, the countdown to elections, and catch-up with oil prices, which fell more than $2 on Monday, took the wind out of sails of the precious metal.
