Gold traded slightly higher near $3,310 after falling late last week as the US dollar experienced a modest recovery.
Uncertainty over US President Donald Trump's tariff policy may also support limiting gold's direction to move higher.
At 9.20 am, gold prices were at $3,308.91, down 0.06%, moving little since it opened in early trade on Monday in the Asian session.
Meanwhile, stronger-than-expected US jobs data in May strengthened the USD as the US Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP) report rose by 139,000 in May compared to a gain of 147,000 in April.
The US Unemployment Rate remained stable at 4.2% in May, while Average Hourly Earnings remained unchanged at 3.9% in the same reported period.
For now, investors will be closely monitoring trade talks between the US and China on Monday as Donald Trump said the world's two largest economies will hold talks in London.
Any sign of an escalating trade war between the US and China could boost safe-haven flows and benefit the yellow metal.
