Gold climbed in early trading Thursday, but the advance withered after a report showed better-than-expected U.S. manufacturing gains in July. Gold futures ended the day slightly lower, while the U.S. dollar climbed.

The Institute for Supply Management’s manufacturing index jumped from a reading of 50.9 in June to 55.4 last month. The surge surprised economists who were expecting the index to rise to a reading of just 52.
