BENGALURU: Gold prices notched a four-week high on Tuesday, extending their winning streak to a fifth session, as a dip in the U.S. dollar and Treasury yields boosted demand for the safe-haven metal amid heightened worries over a global economic slowdown.
Spot gold was up 0.2% at $1,775.37 per ounce, as of 0641 GMT, after hitting its highest since July 5 at $1,780.39 earlier in the session.
U.S. gold futures gained 0.1% to $1,789.50 per ounce.
The dollar weakened to a near one-month low against its rivals, making greenback-denominated gold less expensive for other currency holders.
Benchmark U.S. 10-year Treasury yields dropped to a four-month low, reducing the opportunity cost of holding non-interest bearing gold.
"Gold could push a little higher towards mid $1,800 because the dollar will continue to weaken over the course of August as a lot of the macro numbers in the U.S. are starting to look worse," said Edward Meir, an analyst with ED&F Man Capital Markets.

Factories across the United States, Europe and Asia had struggled for momentum last month, as flagging global demand and China's strict COVID-19 restrictions slowed production, surveys showed on Monday.
The recent batch of weak U.S. economic readings pointed to a slowdown that could prompt the Fed to be less aggressive in its monetary policy tightening plans.
Gold, which tends to appreciate on expectations of lower interest rates, has gained nearly $100 since falling on July 21 to its lowest level in more than one year.
Investors were also keeping watch on possible escalation in Sino-U.S. tension with U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi set to begin a visit to Taiwan amid objections from China.
