Gold prices were slipping, pressured by higher oil prices and higher U.S. Treasury yields, which increase the opportunity cost of holding nonyielding bullion.

In early trading, New York futures were down 0.4% to $4,455.30 a troy ounce. Still, prices have risen more than 10% on the month.

"Gold has nevertheless remained supported by renewed investor demand and stronger central-bank purchases, particularly from China," analysts at MUFG said. "Going forward, the Fed's July meeting minutes and Chairman Kevin Warsh's Jackson Hole remarks will be key for the rate outlook."
