India, Aug. 20 -- Gold prices fell on profit taking Thursday after rising sharply in the previous session following a surprise liquidity support announcement by the U.S. Treasury to stem a rout in the bond market.
Spot gold fell 0.8 percent to $4,486.71 an ounce after surging more than 4 percent on Wednesday and hitting its highest level since June 2 at $4,527.67 earlier in the day, driven by a slide in the dollar and easing pressure from the bond market. U.S. gold futures were little changed at $4,545.01 an ounce.
