Gold prices declined on Wednesday, suggesting a fall in the February contract from its strongest intraday level in a month to a end at its lowest level in more than a week as a stronger U.S. dollar reduced demand for the precious metal. March silver contract also dropped from an almost three-week high as well as copper futures which slipped to their weakest level since April.
