Gold prices ended the U.S. day session moderately lower Tuesday, pressured by a firmer U.S. dollar index and solidly lower crude oil prices. The recent deterioration in the chart postures for gold and silver markets have prompted some new technical selling recently. April Comex gold was last down $10.30 at $1,231.30 an ounce. March Comex silver last traded down $0.215 at $16.855 an ounce.
