Gold futures finished slightly higher on Tuesday, extending winning streak to second straight session, due to the easing trend in dollar value against its rival currencies. Safe haven appeal of the bullion amid rising covid-19 cases and global economic health concerns added the upside. However, positive US Treasury Bond yields limited some investments of the yellow metal.
Gold futures for August up by 50 cents or 0.03% to $17010.70 ounce on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile. Spot gold was rose by 0.1% to $1710.13 per ounce.
