Gold futures settled lower Thursday for a fourth session in a row. The stronger U.S. dollar, as well as higher Treasury yields, pressured gold prices, said Michael Hewson, chief market analyst at CMC Markets UK. Prices for the most-active contract marked their lowest finish since March 21, according to FactSet data. Gold for June delivery GCM23 fell $20.90, or 1.1%, to settle at $1,943.70 an ounce on Comex.
