US gold prices edged lower on Tuesday as a steady dollar made bullion more expensive for overseas buyers, while softer US economic data heightened expectations of less-aggressive moves by the Federal Reserve.

Spot gold was down 0.1 per cent at $1,962.36 per ounce, as of 0103 GMT. US gold futures were flat at $1,999.50.

The dollar index was 0.1 per cent higher. 

Gold prices had dropped on Monday after a surprise cut in OPEC+ crude production was announced during the weekend. But prices reversed course to rally 1 per cent as the dollar stumbled following the release of softer US economic data.

While gold is traditionally considered a hedge against inflation, higher interest rates to rein in rising price pressures dim the appeal for non-yielding bullion.

The price of 1 kg of silver in Delhi, Mumbai, and Kolkata is Rs 74,000.
