Gold futures break a two session winning streak, finishing down 1.4% to $4,022.30 a troy ounce. Investors seemed to react to weekend clashes hampering traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, and wondered is multiple interest rate hikes are more likely to emerge this year. "Gold prices are remaining under pressure as traders remain uncertain over the outlook of progress in U.S.-Iran talks, while the recent flare up in strikes has renewed the risks that energy prices could rise again," says ADM Investor Services in a note. Silver settles down 1.8% to $58.175/oz. ([email protected])
