Gold remained under pressure below $4,000, heading for a fourth straight weekly decline as traders continued to favor the dollar over non-yielding assets. Strong U.S. inflation data and growing expectations for three Fed rate hikes this year have reinforced the view that interest rates will stay higher for longer, limiting demand for bullion.

R1: 4055 - S1: 3960
R2: 4090 - S2: 3910
R3: 4150 - S3: 3840
