Gold was little changed on Tuesday, in a choppy session that took prices back below $1,200 an ounce as the dollar came off its lows and traders worried the U.S. Federal Reserve may remove the phrase "considerablem time" before raising interest rates.
Silver was down 2.5 percent at $15.71 an ounce. We expect Silver prices are likely to trade on negative note on the back of US interest rate outlook.
