May 6 (Reuters) - Gold prices rose on Thursday as a pullback in the U.S. dollar and Treasury yields lifted demand for the safe-haven metal, while investors awaited U.S. non-farm payrolls data for April due later this week.
Spot gold was up 0.4% at $1,794.30 per ounce by 0650 GMT. U.S. gold futures rose 0.6% to $1,794.20 per ounce.
“The U.S. Federal Reserve is continuing to push back here, it is good for gold because it’s keeping yields lower. I think this will eventually lead to a weaker U.S. dollar,” said Stephen Innes, managing partner at SPI Asset Management.
