India, July 9 -- Gold held a decline to fall below $3,300 per ounce on Wednesday as investors pared bets on Federal Reserve interest-rate cuts by year-end.

A stronger dollar also weighed on the precious metal as U.S. President Donald Trump broadened his global trade war.

Spot gold dipped 0.4 percent to $3,289.80 per ounce in European trade, while U.S. gold futures were down 0.60 percent at $3,297.15.

The U.S. dollar held close to an over 2-week high versus major peers due to ongoing uncertainty about President Trump's tariff plans.

Trump said Tuesday his extended Aug. 1 deadline for his "Liberation Day" tariffs will stick, after previously suggesting it wasn't "100 percent firm."
