Gold prices ended the U.S. day session moderately lower Tuesday, but up from the daily lows. Better trader and investor risk appetite Tuesday that boosted the world stock markets was a negative for safe-haven gold. However, fully bullish “outside markets”—sharply higher crude oil and a sharply lower U.S. dollar index—did help to lift gold prices up from their daily lows. April Comex gold was last down $12.90 at $1,264.10 an ounce. March Comex silver last traded up $0.144 at $17.395 an ounce.
