An IG analyst said: "With markets expecting the Fed to keep interest rates high for longer, dampening investor interest in non-yielding assets, gold has only rebounded modestly and remains near its lowest level since early August."

According to the CME FedWatch tool, traders currently price in a 72.5% probability of a Fed rate hike in October. The market is now focused on a series of US economic data, including the consumer confidence index and job openings data due later on Tuesday. (Jinshi)
