The precious metal gave up nearly half the gains from the previous day.
After rising briefly above the 1800 level, gold prices are down about 0.5% on Thursday.
Currently, price action is challenging the 1800 level. Given the psychological importance of this level, we could see some consolidation taking place.
A close below 1800 could accelerate the declines down to the 1786 level where support could be established.
