Safe-haven gold was poised for a third consecutive monthly gain as geopolitical risks and central bank demand lifted bullion’s appeal, although prices fell on Tuesday as market focus shifted to the Federal Reserve’s policy meeting.
Spot gold was down 1% at $2,312.17 per ounce, as of 0847 GMT, pressured by firmer dollar that makes the metal more expensive for overseas buyers. U.S. gold futures fell 1.4% at $2,324.80.
Still, gold prices have gained more than 3% in April after scaling a record high of $2,431.29 earlier this month.
