Gold futures finished slightly lower on Tuesday, as the firmness in the dollar and US treasury bond yields pressured green back denominated, non-yielding yellow metal investments. Additionally, lifted risk appetite in the market as the US market reopened after a long weekend also saddled investments. However, persisting worries about global economic health limited losses.
Gold futures for August lower by $1.80 or 0.1% to settle at $1838.80 ounce on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile. Spot gold dipped by 0.3% to $1,832.77 per ounce.
