Gold prices retreated from a three-week high on Friday, pressured by a robust dollar, while markets braced for potential economic and trade shifts under U.S. President-elect Donald Trump.
Spot gold eased 0.6% to $2,641.52 an ounce at 01:41 p.m. ET (1841 GMT), after hitting its highest level since Dec. 13 earlier in the session. Bullion is up about 0.8% for the week so far.
U.S. gold futures settled 0.5% lower at $2,654.70.
The new president's agenda that supports higher tariffs has boosted the dollar and created significant underlying pressure on metal markets, said Nitesh Shah, commodity strategist at WisdomTree.
The dollar index was set for its strongest weekly performance since mid-November, making gold pricier for overseas buyers.
