GOLD fell as much as 1.7 per cent on Friday, as the dollar rose after US data showed employment increased more than expected in July, raising the probability of an interest rate hike from the Federal Reserve this year.
US non-farm payrolls increased by 255,000 jobs last month, the Labor Department said on Friday, up from an expectation of 180,000 jobs.
