Gold slipped to its lowest in almost a month on Monday as a firm dollar and greater risk appetite outweighed support from an expected pause to increases in U.S. interest rates.
Spot gold was 0.1 percent down at $1,279.48 an ounce, having touched its lowest since Dec. 28 at $1,276.31. U.S. gold futures were down 0.3 percent at $1,279.20.
Silver fell 0.46 percent to $15.25 an ounce while platinum lost 0.2 percent to $795.87.
World markets showed some relief from Chinese economic data in line with expectations and offered some bright spots, though concerns about British Prime Minister Theresa May's Brexit plans prompted some caution.
U.S. markets were closed on Monday for a public holiday.
