The prices of 9ct Gold Scrap non-hallmarked declined to $411.069 an ounce on Wednesday and 14ct Gold Scrap non-hallmarked traded down at $641.267 an ounce.

The most active June gold contract on the COMEX division of the New York Mercantile Exchange settled up $4.20 an ounce at $1,196.82 on Wednesday.

Some weaker than expected US economic data released Wednesday morning prompted some short-covering and bargain hunting buying interest in gold.

However, Gold futures prices are down nearly 8% from their January closing high, weighed down by expectations that the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates this year. Gold becomes a less attractive option to investors when interest rates increase.
