World gold prices slightly decreased as the USD increased

However, the precious metal is under some pressure as the dollar index rose sharply and US Treasury yields rose slightly.

The Conference Board reported on Monday that its US consumer confidence index fell to 104.7, down from a revised 112.8 in November. The reading was weaker than expected, with economists predicting the index would be largely unchanged.

“Expectations that consumer confidence would continue to recover were not realized in December, as the index fell back to its two-year average,” said Dana Peterson, chief economist at the Conference Board.
