Gold edged lower in Asia after surging more than 5% over the three previous sessions as the collapse of a major US bank spurred a flight to haven assets. | News24_Business

The possibility of more trouble for the global economy also piled pressure on industrial metals, which joined the flight from risk assets. Zinc is heading for its lowest close since November, while copper also retreated.

Traders will be closely watching US inflation data due later Tuesday, with the market now expecting the banking-sector turmoil will prompt the Fed to implement a quarter-point hike at its March 21-22 policy meeting, rather than return to a half-point increase. While the CPI data"remains critical, we view recent market events as more structurally supportive for gold prices," Citigroup’s Doshi said in the note.

Spot gold dropped 0.6% to $1,902.74 an ounce as of 1:40 p.m. in Shanghai and the Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index rose 0.2%. Copper fell 1.2% and zinc was down 0.5%.
