Gold prices climbed on Tuesday, with the yellow metal moving closer to its Thursday settlement, which marked the second-highest finish for a most-active Comex gold contract on record.
An overall decline in the U.S. dollar, banking-sector issues, and concerns about a weakening U.S. economy were among the reasons behind gold’s move last week toward a fresh record high. Traders on Tuesday awaited the latest U.S. inflation data to better gauge the economic outlook.
