SINGAPORE: Gold eased for a second session on Wednesday as the dollar and equities edged up after sharp losses, but lingering worries over the global economy could support the safe-haven metal.
Spot gold had slipped 0.4% to US$1,227 an ounce by 0344 GMT. The metal hit a four-week peak of US$1,237.90 on Tuesday, before paring gains to close the day 0.4% lower.
