Gold steady near $4,141 as rate-hike odds fade but dollar and yields stay firm

Gold finished little changed at $4,141.46 an ounce, with Reuters tying the small uptick to easing bets on an October rate hike even as a stronger dollar capped gains. Kitco coverage highlighted continued pressure from elevated yields, while several reports pointed to steady central-bank buying as a longer-running support.
