Aug 22 (Reuters) - Gold prices rose above $1,900 an ounce on Tuesday, helped by a slight pullback for the dollar and bond yields as investors await the Jackson Hole Symposium later in the week.
Gold prices trading below key moving averagesSpot gold was up 0.4% at $1,901.80 an ounce by 1159 GMT. U.S. gold futures gained 0.4% to $1,930.90.
The dollar was down 0.1% against its rivals, making gold less expensive for holders of other currencies, while benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury yields retreated after hitting levels not seen since November 2007. Indicative of sentiment, receding fears of a U.S. slowdown and surging bond yields have gradually eroded the appeal of exchange-traded funds backed by safe-haven gold this year.
