Gold ends flat near $4,088 as central-bank buying headlines meet hawkish Fed talk

At 5:34 PM ET, spot gold was $4,088.14 an ounce, unchanged on the day, after reports tied the recent strength to a softer dollar and lower yields. Late-day coverage also leaned on a counterweight: Reuters said Goldman Sachs trimmed its gold forecasts on a hawkish Federal Reserve outlook.
