Gold reclaims $4,100 os Iran diplomacy hopes temper Fed hike bets and weigh on USD

Gold looks set to build on a modest bullish gap-up opening on Monday, beyond $4,100, as hopes of US-Iran peace talks weigh heavily on crude oil prices, easing inflation fears and tempering Fed rate-hike bets. Moreover, the optimism drags the safe-haven US Dollar away from a one-month top, touched on Friday, and supports the non-yielding bullion. The focus now shifts to the crucial FOMC policy meeting this week.
