Sept 3 (Reuters) -Gold prices eased to their lowest in more than a week on Tuesday, pressured by a firm dollar, while investors awaited U.S. non-farm payrolls data that could determine the size of the potential cut in the Federal Reserve's September policy meeting.
Spot gold XAU= fell 0.6% to $2,484.69 per ounce by 11:43 a.m. ET (1543 GMT). U.S. gold futures GCcv1 eased 0.5% to $2,516.20.
The dollar .DXY hit a two-week high, making gold more expensive for other currency holders. USD/
"We see evidence that speculative positioning in gold is effectively maxed out for the time being..I think the level to which gold is seeing pressure from the rise in the dollar reflects our view on positioning," said Daniel Ghali, commodity strategist at TD Securities.
Focus will be on Friday's U.S. payrolls report along with ISM surveys, JOLTS job openings and the ADP employment report due later this week.
Markets are pricing in a 63% chance of a 25 basis point (bps) cut when the Fed meets on Sept. 17 and 18, with a 37% probability of a 50-bps cut, the CME FedWatch tool showed.
"If the U.S. jobs report is significantly weaker, speculation about a U.S. recession and faster rate cuts will resurface, further supporting gold," Commerzbank said in a note.
Bullion is heading for its best year since 2020, driven by investor optimism about upcoming U.S. rate cuts and lingering concerns about the Middle East conflict.
Gold "remains our preferred hedge against geopolitical and financial risks, with additional support from imminent Fed rate cuts and ongoing emerging market central bank buying. We open a long gold trade recommendation," Goldman Sachs said.
Spot silver XAG= dipped 1.8% to $27.97, platinum XPT= fell 2.2% to $909.50 and palladium XPD= lost nearly 4% to $940.00.
