Gold was little changed on Wednesday morning as it failed to make the most of a pullback in the dollar, with demand for bullion being restrained amid prospects of aggressive monetary policies and rising US bond yields.

Spot gold was flat at $1,711.89 per ounce at 9.10 am UAE time.

In the UAE, the 24K gold price inched up Dh0.25 per gram to Dh207.5 on Wednesday morning. While 22K, 21K and 18K opened at Dh194.75, Dh186.0 and Dh159.25 per gram, respectively.
