India, July 23 -- Gold prices fell from a two-week high on Thursday as escalating West Asia tensions rekindled inflation fears and clouded the outlook for interest rates.

Spot gold fell nearly 1 percent to $4,091.08 an ounce while U.S. gold futures were down 1.4 percent at $4,094.05.

Oil prices remain elevated at six-week highs on widening Middle East tensions and fears of further disruption to crude supplies after Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthis claimed an attack on two Saudi oil tankers transiting through the Red Sea.
