PTI Updated - June 05, 2014 at 06:57 PM.

Gold held near four—month low as investors awaited a European Central Bank monetary policy decision and US economic data that may support further reductions to the Federal Reserve’s asset purchases.

Gold traded little changed at $1,243.35 an ounce.

Silver fell 0.3 per cent to $18.76 an ounce.

Gold fell a second time in three months in May as the euro weakened 1.7 per cent versus the dollar on speculation that the ECB will add stimulus when policymakers meet today.
