Gold prices edged lower on Tuesday, extending losses into a fourth straight session as markets hunkered down before a Federal Reserve meeting this week, while copper saw some strength as focus remained on Chinese stimulus measures.
Strength in the dollar and Treasury yields also pressured metal prices, as investors pivoted into the greenback in anticipation of the Fed meeting.
