US gold futures for June delivery declined 1.6% to $4,377.10.

The dollar climbed to a one-week high, making dollar-denominated gold more expensive for holders of other currencies.

Matt Simpson, senior analyst at StoneX, said geopolitical tensions continue to support the dollar despite ongoing discussions around a possible peace agreement.
