Gold prices on Thursday headed lower, putting the precious commodity on track for a fourth straight decline and its longest skid since late April, with strength in the dollar contributing mightily to the deterioration in bullion.
Bullion was deepening its slide toward its lowest price since late July as investors appeared to prefer the turn to the U.S. dollar amid rising concerns about the global economic outlook and increased cases of COVID-19.
The dollar was inching 0.2% higher on Thursday but has climbed 1.8%, marking its steepest weekly rise so far against a basket of a half-dozen currencies, as measured by the ICE U.S. Dollar DXY,

Jobless claims rose 4,000 to 870,000, the Labor Department said Thursday. Economists surveyed by MarketWatch had been looking claims to decline to 850,000, reflecting that slightly more Americans applied for state unemployment benefits in the week ended Sept. 19 than in the prior week. Claims in the prior week were raised by 6,000 to 866,000.
