Gold prices edged higher on Tuesday after comments from Federal Reserve officials reinforced expectations of bigger US interest rate cuts later this year. Spot gold was up 0.1% to $2,408.77 per ounce, while US gold futures rose 0.2% to $2,449.50. Bullion fell to its lowest since July 26 in the previous session, caught in a global sell-off driven by fears of a US recession. Among other precious metals, spot silver fell 0.2% to $27.23 per ounce, platinum rose 1.2% to $917.30, and palladium rose 0.9% to $857.25, after hitting its lowest since August 2018 on Monday.
