Gold prices inched lower on Tuesday as the US dollar witnessed an uptick, with traders largely focusing on Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's speech for insights into the central bank's rate hike path.

Spot gold was down 0.2 per cent at $1,868.85 per ounce, as of 0033 GMT. US gold futures also slipped 0.2 per cent to $1,873.10.

Elevated interest rates dull gold's appeal as an inflation hedge and raise the opportunity cost of holding the non-yielding asset.

In Delhi, Mumbai, and Kolkata, one kg of silver is trading at Rs 71,800 today. In Chennai, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad, the metal is selling at Rs 74,900 per kg.
