International gold prices
Gold prices reversed course on Thursday, dropping from a more than two-week high as bullion`s appeal was tarnished by climbing U.S. Treasury yields and a firmer dollar. Spot gold fell 0.3% to $1,738.90 an ounce by 0921 GMT after touching its highest since March 1 at $1,755.25. U.S. gold futures were up 0.5% at $1,734.80, a Reuters report said.
