May 12 (Reuters) - Gold prices slipped on Wednesday, weighed down by higher U.S. Treasury yields and a slight rebound in the dollar ahead of the much-awaited U.S. consumer price data due later in the day.
Spot gold was down 0.3% at $1,832.05 per ounce by 0646 GMT. U.S. gold futures eased 0.1% to $1,833.60.
“The dollar has strengthened a little bit . if the inflation rate is higher than expected, it could encourage central banks to consider tightening their monetary policies faster than expected,” said Margaret Yang, a strategist at DailyFX.

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.
