Gold fell on Thursday as the dollar rose to a 9-year high versus the euro and stock markets climbed more than 2 percent, with minutes from the Federal Reserve's last meeting and steadier oil prices soothing risk aversion.
Spot gold was down 0.4 percent at $1,205.60 an ounce at 1235 GMT, while U.S. gold futures for February delivery were down $4.80 an ounce at $1,205.90.
European shares rose 2.1 percent after minutes from the Federal Reserve's latest policy meeting on Wednesday reassured markets that it was in no hurry to raise interest rates.
Analysts said the minutes held few surprises, with the Fed signalling it would press ahead with plans to begin raising interest rates later this year, but would be "patient" in deciding when the move would come.
A steadier tone to oil prices after recent sharp losses also soothed investors' nerves, helping lift U.S. and European government bond yields off recent lows.{1}
