Gold ended lower at $4,402.55 an ounce (-0.29%), even as several reports focused on ongoing official-sector demand. Coverage pointed to competing forces: a softer dollar helping support prices, while concerns about U.S. interest rates and profit-taking pressured the metal.

Every point cites the reports it came from. On Fridays it writes a recap of the week.
