The most active gold contract for December delivery rose 2 U.S. dollars, or 0.11 percent, to close at 1,789.7 dollars per ounce.
Gold found support as the U.S. Labor Department reported Tuesday that U.S. job openings fell to a still-high 10.7 million in June from 11.3 million in May.
Nevertheless, rising U.S. dollar index and U.S. treasury yield capped gold's growth.
Silver for September delivery fell 22.3 cents, or 1.1 percent, to close at 20.139 dollars per ounce. Platinum for October delivery rose 3.4 dollars, or 0.38 percent, to close at 905 dollars per ounce.
