GOLD fell more than 1% on Monday, pressured by a stronger dollar and expectations of higher interest rates as the Middle East conflict fueled inflation concerns.

- EDITOR FRANCISCO P. BALTAZAR

Spot gold was down 1.5% at $5,091.62 per ounce at 1:40 p.m. ET (1740 GMT). US gold futures for April delivery settled 1.1% lower at $5,103.70.

Inflation worries and expectations of higher interest rates driven by uncertainty over the war weighed on gold, but a prolonged conflict is also expected to sustain safe-haven demand and provide a floor for gold prices, said Jim Wyckoff, senior analyst at Kitco Metals.
