Gold for immediate delivery fell 0.2 percent to $1,103.35 an ounce at 2:39 p.m. Singapore time, paring yesterday’s 2.3 percent gain, the biggest advance since Nov. 3.

“The rally is luring some buyers to lock in gains,” said Yu Kyung Kyu, a trader with Eugene Investment & Futures Co. in Seoul. Still, “some are betting on a further rally given that gold’s passed the key $1,085 support level.”

Bullion, which typically moves inversely to the dollar, declined for a second month in January as the dollar rallied 2 percent against the six-currency basket. The metal reached a record $1,226.56 on Dec. 3.
