Some expect gold prices to turn volatile again after a weekend meeting of Group of Seven finance ministers, at which officials of industrialized countries are expected to come under heavy pressure to revive economic growth.

Gold also declines due to stronger dollar. Gold and Dollar share an inverse relationship with each other so if one is rising other prefer moving down.

Dollar gained yesterday against major currencies by hitting a six month high against Euro after the European Central Bank President Jean-Claude Trichet resigned. President also said the region"s economy is facing high uncertainty and intensified downside risks, which drove Euro down against all major currencies.
