Canada Retail Sales (MoM) below expectations (0.9%) in February: Actual (0.7%)

Gold trades little-changed on the day near $4,700 after having touched a fresh 10-day low below $4,660 earlier in the day and looks to end the week in negative territory.

Moreover, reviving inflationary fears temper expectations for a more dovish US Federal Reserve and underpin the US Dollar, which is seen weighing on the yellow metal.
