Gold declined on speculation that the metal’s rise to an almost two-month high may cause investors to sell some of their holdings.

Bullion, which touched $962.51 an ounce yesterday, the highest since June 10, snapped a three-day gain as the dollar rebounded against a basket of six major currencies from a 10- month low. A stronger U.S. currency saps demand for commodities priced in dollars.
