8月24日（彭博社）--因3周来的最大上涨刺激投资者抛售黄金，在亚盘变动微小的黄金可能下跌。
由于美元指数作为美元对6种货币的估值下滑，增加了黄金对冲通货膨胀的吸引力，黄金通常与美元反方向运动并在8月21日上涨了1.4%。股指上升对黄金起到了支撑作用，Hwang Il Doo，KEB期货公司的交易员说。
“前一时段大涨之后，市场开始谨慎，”首尔的Hwang说。“但是，如果美元持续下跌并且亚洲股市上涨，那么黄金的下滑将是有限的。”

Gold May Decline After Biggest Gain in 3 Weeks Spurs Selling
By Kim Kyoungwha
Aug. 24 (Bloomberg) -- Gold, little changed in Asian trading, may decline after the biggest rally in three weeks spurred investors to sell the precious metal.
Bullion typically moves inversely to the dollar and gained 1.4 percent on Aug. 21 as a decline in the Dollar Index, a six- currency gauge of the greenback’s value, increased the metal’s appeal as a hedge against inflation. The Index, along with rising stocks, may provide support to gold, said Hwang Il Doo, a trader with KEB Futures Co.
“After a big rally in the previous session, caution set in among market players,” said Seoul-based Hwang. “Still, should the dollar continue to drop and Asian stocks rise, the downside for gold is limited.”
Gold for immediate delivery dropped 30 cents to $953.55 an ounce at 9:13 a.m. in Singapore. The Dollar Index lost 0.1 percent to 77.987, while the MSCI Asia Pacific Index of regional shares jumped 2.1 percent.
Gold holdings in the SPDR Gold Trust, the biggest exchange- traded fund backed by bullion, added 0.9 metric tons to 1,066.41 tons as of Aug. 21, expanding for the first time since July 16, according to figures on the company’s Web site.
Among other precious metals for immediate delivery, silver advanced 1 percent to $14.32 an ounce, platinum gained 0.3 percent to $1,260 an ounce and palladium added 0.9 percent to $283.50 as of 9:19 a.m. in Singapore.
