Reports that the government of India has further hiked import duties on gold also weighed on the sentiment. <a href=\"https:\/\/thestockmarketwatch.com\/metal\/silver-price.aspx\">Silver prices<\/a> were flat in trading on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"more-46590\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>At last check, gold futures for December delivery fell 1.03% to $1,320.50 an ounce while spot gold plunged 1.15% to $1,320.39 an ounce. In late trading, the SPDR Gold Trust (ETF) (<a href=\"https:\/\/thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock.aspx?stock=GLD\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NYSE: GLD<\/a>) was down 1.15% to $127.64.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/stockmarketwatch.com\/metal\/silver-price.aspx\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"5\" title=\"silver price today\">Silver<\/a> futures were flat at $21.34, at last check.<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. dollar traded higher against a basket of rival currencies on Tuesday even as investors remained uncertain as to when the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.knowfinance.com\/federal-reserve-system-fed\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Federal Reserve<\/a> might start tapering its multi-billion dollar asset purchase program.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier today, the U.S. retail sales data for July showed mixed outcome. While the core retail sales rose more-than-expected in July, overall retail sales missed economists\u2019 forecast.<\/p>\n<p>Although several Fed officials have hinted in the recent past that the winding down of economic stimulating measures could start soon, if the economic indicators show significant improvement; some recent data releases are inconclusive to decide whether the economy is improving at a steady pace.<\/p>\n<p>Addressing to reporters, Atlanta\u2019s Fed President Dennis Lockhart also said today that it was difficult to predict exactly when the tapering could start, given the fact that the economic indicators have been uneven lately.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the Indian government raised import duties on gold for the third time in last eight months on Tuesday. The import duties were increased to 10% from 8%. The widening current account deficit is prompting the Indian government to raise import barriers.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"nr_popular_placeholder\" data-permalink=\"http:\/\/www2.thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/gold-prices-sheds-more-than-1-silver-prices-flat\/46590\" data-title=\"Gold Prices Sheds More Than 1%; Silver Prices Flat\"><\/div>\n<p><script id=\"mNCC\" language=\"javascript\">  medianet_width='600';  medianet_height= '250';  medianet_crid='814932888';  <\/script>  <script id=\"mNSC\" src=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20130820173732js_\/http:\/\/contextual.media.net\/nmedianet.js?cid=8CUT71M67\" language=\"javascript\"><\/script> <\/p>\n<p><!-- AddThis Button BEGIN --><\/p>\n<div class=\"addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style addthis_32x32_style\">\n<a class=\"addthis_button_preferred_1\"><\/a><br \/>\n<a class=\"addthis_button_preferred_2\"><\/a><br \/>\n<a class=\"addthis_button_preferred_3\"><\/a><br \/>\n<a class=\"addthis_button_preferred_4\"><\/a><br \/>\n<a class=\"addthis_button_compact\"><\/a><br \/>\n<a class=\"addthis_counter addthis_bubble_style\"><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">var addthis_config = {\"data_track_addressbar\":true};<\/script><br \/>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"http:\/\/s7.addthis.com\/js\/250\/addthis_widget.js#pubid=pennystocksfinder\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- AddThis Button END --><\/p>\n<p>More Posts by this author<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www2.thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/stocks-held-moderate-gains-by-mid-day-trade\/46736\"><br \/>\nStocks Held Moderate Gains By Mid-day Trade<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www2.thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/stocks-trade-slightly-higher\/46733\"><br \/>\nStocks Trade Slightly Higher<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www2.thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/forex-market-update-dollar-index-sharply-lower-as-investors-eye-feds-minutes\/46731\"><br \/>\nForex Market Update: Dollar Index Sharply Lower as Investors Eye Fed\u2019s Minutes<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www2.thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/gold-prices-slightly-down-silver-prices-plunge-more-than-1-50\/46730\"><br \/>\nGold Prices Slightly Down, Silver Prices Plunge More Than 1.50%<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www2.thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/stocks-futures-up-after-best-buy-home-depot-results\/46727\"><br \/>\nStocks Futures Up After Best Buy &#038; Home Depot Results<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www2.thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/urban-outfitters-q2-profit-climbs-25-urbn\/46722\"><br \/>\nUrban Outfitters Q2 Profit Climbs 25% (URBN)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www2.thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/bob-evans-q1-profit-down-sharply-bobe\/46721\"><br \/>\nBob Evans Q1 Profit Down Sharply (BOBE)<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr>\n<table style=\"border:none;margin:0;\">\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:5px;vertical-align:top;\" valign=\"top\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20130820173732im_\/http:\/\/www2.thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/userphoto\/5.jpg\" alt=\"edliston\" width=\"125\" height=\"125\" class=\"photo\"><\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:5px;vertical-align:top;\" valign=\"top\">\n<div style=\"font-size:11pt;\"><b>Post Written By: Ed Liston <\/b><\/div>\n<div style=\"font-size:10pt;\">\n<p>Ed Liston is a senior contributing editor at TheStockMarketWatch.com.
