Spot gold was trading at $3,193.34 per ounce, down 1.5 per cent. The precious metal hit an over-one-month low ahead of key US data, which is expected to provide cues on the Federal Reserve's monetary policy path, while a thaw in US-China trade tensions also weighed on bullion's appeal.

The US and China earlier this week agreed to cut tariffs and adopted a 90-day pause , de-escalating a potentially damaging trade war between the world's two largest economies. However, global markets still remain uncertain about the outcome after 90 days.

Brian Lan, managing director at GoldSilver Central, said the yellow metal could touch $3,150. If it doesn't hold this level, then it may hit $3,100 at the next level.
