Fundamental: Gold fell to the lowest level in four months primarily on back of strength in the dollar against its major crosses. The greenback rose after strong U.S. housing data further eased concerns of a slowdown in the world’s biggest economy. Sales of new U.S. single family homes rose to a near one and half year high in March, boosted by lower mortgage rates and house prices. The dollar also rose after White House reported that US and Chinese representatives will begin trade talks on April in Beijing. The United States is seeking changes from China that range from reducing industrial subsidies to halting forced technology transfers by U.S. companies seeking to enter the Chinese market. SPDR Gold Trust, the world’s largest gold-backed exchange-traded fund, said its holdings fell 0.27% to 749.63 tonnes on Tuesday from 751.68 tonnes on Monday.
