Gold futures finished for the third straight session on Tuesday, whetted by the inflation hedge appeal of the bullion, lingering surge in covid infections and on intensifying Ukraine-Russia geo-political tensions. However, expectations over interest rate hikes and stronger dollar capped some gains in the yellow metal.
Gold futures for April climbed by 0.3% at $1,827.90 ounce on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile. While, spot gold picked up by 0.4% to $1,827.86 per ounce.
