Gold was down 0.5 percent to $1,597 an ounce. Spot prices were still set for a one percent gain in March, their first monthly rise in six months.

U.S. gold futures dropped 0.4 percent to about $1,600 an ounce.

That said, we want to hear from you — do you think gold will end the second quarter higher or lower?
