Gold prices fell for a second straight session Monday, as strength in the U.S. dollar helped send the metal to its lowest level in almost a week. Investors awaited the outcome of the Federal Reserve’s two-day monetary policy meeting, which concludes Wednesday, and monthly U.S. jobs data due Friday to help gauge the demand outlook for the precious metal. February gold lost $11.80, or 0.9%, to settle at $1,340.30 an ounce.
