During the session the gold contract slipped to a three-week low, then rebounded as the dollar declined against the euro in the wake of reported comments from former Ex-Federal Reserve chief Alan Greenspan, quoted as stating that there were a few years of dollar weakness. Investors are anticipating the Federal Reserve not to hike the benchmark interest rate which now stands at 5.25 %.
