Gold prices inched lower on Tuesday, weighed by an uptick in the dollar, although hopes of slower interest rate hikes by the US Federal Reserve capped further losses.

US gold futures fell 0.5 per cent to $1,912.70.
According to industry analysts, gold prices are expected to hit record highs above $2,000 an ounce this year, albeit with a little turbulence, as the Fed slows the pace of hikes and eventually stops increasing them.
In Delhi, Mumbai, and Kolkata, 1 kg of silver is trading at Rs 72,900, while in Chennai and Hyderabad it is selling at Rs 75,800.
Spot silver inched 0.8 per cent lower to $24.20.
