Gold futures finished lower on Thursday, saddled by the risk appetite in the market with the positive weekly US jobs data. Monthly US job’s data is due today, which can be a yard stick to glean insights on the possible timing and scope of US Central Bank's roll back of accommodations. Besides, firmer US treasury bond yields also dimmed non yielding bullion investment appeal.
Gold futures for December eased by 0.2% to settle at $1,759.00 an ounce on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile. While, spot gold fell by 0.3% at $1,757.30 per ounce.
