Gold prices traded lower by 0.19% against the USD in the 24 hour period ending 23:00GMT, at 1,426.48 per ounce, snapping a two-day advance, as Japan’s strongest quake and a worsening nuclear accident spurred concern that the global economic recovery may be hurt, prompting investors to book profits.

In the Asian session at 4:00GMT, gold is trading at USD 1,408.38 per ounce, 1.27% lower from 23:00GMT.
