Gold prices eased on Tuesday, pulling back after reaching a six-week high in the previous session. The retreat was driven by rising U.S. Treasury yields and some profit-taking. Investors are awaiting key U.S. economic data , including the ADP employment report and the core PCE price index , to assess the Federal Reserve's monetary policy stance. Treasury yields hovered near a two week high, reducing gold’s appeal, as the market anticipates a potential rate cut by the Fed.
