Draghi pushed the dollar up, dragged the gold down

Gold has fallen, and the dollar has risen since its three-week minimum against the euro after ECB chief Mario Draghi signaled that any normalization of monetary policy would be very "smooth" and "gradual".
The single currency recorded a significant decline over all major currencies, following Draggy's comments.
Draghi also said that inflation is still weak, which is likely to predict a slight change in ECB policy.
The spot price of gold fell 0.3 percent to $ 1 321.09 per ounce. It reached a one-week high of $ 1,340.42 an ounce on Wednesday before closing 0.6% down. Gold futures fell 0.4 percent to $ 1,321.80.
According to Georgette Boyle, an analyst at ABN Amro, the dollar will remain a key driver of the gold price. The only reason the gold price rose to $ 1,340 per ounce was the weakness of the US currency last week, the analyst said.
