E24X7: Latest gold and currency rates in UAE today: Gold flatlines
Gold falls back after 0.6 per cent gain

Gold gave up early gains on Monday as a robust dollar outweighed safe-haven demand after Greeks rejected terms of a bailout package in a referendum.
Spot gold was flat at $1,167.57 an ounce by 0401 GMT (8:01am UAE time), after earlier jumping by as much as 0.6 per cent. US gold climbed nearly 1 per cent in its biggest daily gain in about two weeks to $1,174.40 before paring some gains to trade up 0.3 per cent.
Silver, platinum and palladium all declined.
A higher dollar makes gold more expensive for holders of other currencies, while also lowering its appeal as a hedge.The greenback has also been supported recently by expectations the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates from record lows this year. That has weighed on gold, a non-interest-paying asset.
Gold could get a boost if the Fed decides to postpone a rate hike or if there is a contagion risk in Europe because of the Greek crisis, a trader said.
