Gold futures finished lower on Tuesday, with rising crude oil rates and hawkish Fed bets, following an attack by Iran's Revolutionary Guard on a Qatari LNG carrier near the Strait of Hormuz. Strength in greenback and rising bond yield notes also dulled investment appeal of the bullion.
Gold futures for August delivery down by $10.10 to 0.24% to settle at $4,157.40 an ounce on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile. However, spot gold rose by $19.47 or 0.47% to $ 4,125.71 an ounce.
