Gold firms on weaker dollar as focus turns to Fed (Reuters)

Gold fell 4.5% last week in its biggest decline since March as investors reassessed positions after bullion retreated from a record peak of $2,072.50 scaled on Aug. 7. U.S. gold futures. gained 0.5% at $1,958.90 per ounce.

Gold does not "seem ready to resume the selloff in earnest as traders wait for FOMC meeting minutes and the fate of U.S. fiscal stimulus negotiations," said DailyFx currency strategist Ilya Spivak.
