Gold prices edged up on Tuesday as the dollar eased, while investors kept a keen eye on posturing from major central banks on interest rate hikes for a clearer outlook for bullion, Reuters reported. A weaker dollar makes greenback-priced bullion more attractive for buyers holding other currencies.  

Spot gold was up 0.2% at $1,841.13 per ounce by 0200 GMT, after largely range-bound trading on Monday. US gold futures firmed 0.1% to $1,842.90. However, benchmark U.S. 10-year Treasury yields rose, capping gains in zero-yielding gold.  

Gold prices on Monday declined by Rs 242 to Rs 50,735 per 10 grams amid rupee appreciation, according to HDFC Securities. In the previous trade, the yellow metal settled at Rs 50,977 per 10 grams. Silver also tumbled by Rs 770 to Rs 60,460 per kg from Rs 61,230 per kg in the previous trade. 

The (gold) market is sitting tight as, after a historic week for global central banks; policymakers will get to explain the reasoning behind their decisions this week," said Stephen Innes, managing partner at SPI Asset Management told Reuters.

Although bullion is often seen as an inflation hedge, higher interest rates and bond yields increase the opportunity cost of holding gold, which yields nothing.
