Spot gold fell 0.2 percent on the week. "We don´t see much fresh buying interest and there is some profit taking.
The physical demand is also very weak.
The market is not able break above $1,355, which is acting as a good resistance and causing some long liquidations," said Peter Fung, head of dealing at Wing Fung Precious Metals in Hong Kong.
"Prices have been stuck in the $1,320-$1,360 range for a good time ...The upside is also limited due to the fear of interest rates."
