Gold prices ended a lackluster and two-sided trading session modestly lower Tuesday. It’s a quieter market place so far this week. Traders and investors are starting to look ahead to Friday’s U.S. jobs report, which is arguably the most important economic report of the month. April Comex gold was last down $4.80 at $1,203.40 an ounce. May Comex silver was last down $0.196 at $16.255 an ounce.
