Gold rose for a third straight session on Wednesday, hitting a one-month peakon a softer dollar and lower oil prices, while investors awaited U.S. jobs data for clues on the interest-rate outlook. Lower oil prices can ease inflation concerns that shape expectations of higher interest rates. "Gold's relation with ‌oil is still intact ‌as oil prices have a tremendous impact on the global economy in terms of inflationary pressure. If we get a very ‌clear roadmap to further de-escalation in tensions, gold prices could ⁠move higher," said Kelvin Wong, a senior market analyst at OANDA. Gold tends to lose its appeal in a high interest-rate environment despite its status as an inflation hedge, ⁠as it yields no ⁠interest.
