The prices declined as investors awaited the release of the minutes of the US Federal Reserve's June policy meeting for cues on the central bank's monetary policy path. The minutes of the Federal Open Market Committee's (FOMC) June meeting are scheduled to be released on Wednesday.
Spot gold was down 0.82% at $4,131 per ounce at the time of writing, while US gold futures for August delivery fell 0.62% to $4,141.61 per ounce.
After falling more than 25% from the record highs scaled earlier this year, gold prices hit a two-week high on Monday as inflationary concerns eased. In addition, last week's US jobs data tempered expectations of a Federal Reserve interest rate hike in the near term.
According to the CME FedWatch Tool, traders now assign a 56% probability to a September interest rate hike, compared with a 60% probability before the release of the jobs data.
Lower interest rates generally make non-yielding assets such as gold more attractive to investors.
