Gold prices edged up on Tuesday on a dollar that was close to hitting its lowest in over a year, while traders waited for retail sales data from the United States to gauge any impact on the U.S. Federal Reserve’s monetary tightening path.
Spot gold rose 0.3% to $1,959.54 per ounce by 0359 GMT. U.S. gold futures gained 0.4% to $1,963.70.
The dollar wobbled near an over one-year low. A weaker dollar makes gold cheaper for holders of other currencies.
