Gold declined as gains by the dollar and falling oil prices sapped demand for the precious metal as an alternative investment.

Bullion, which typically moves inversely to the dollar, snapped a two-day advance as crude oil dropped to a one- week low and Asian stocks fell. The Dollar Index, a six- currency gauge of the U.S. currency’s value, rose 0.4 percent after six days of declines.
