A technical kind of trading and a firmer dollar pulled gold lower on Tuesday. Profit-taking weighed down on high-grade copper futures, although the market was able to rebound from its weakest levels as a strike continues against Escondida mine. Silver was also down, as well as platinum and palladium.
