Gold gained on Tuesday evening as expectations for aggressive global central bank tightening eased after the Reserve Bank of Australia said they are in no rush to raise rates and as some traders doubted the Fed would kick off tightening with a half-point increase.

“Gold is hovering around $1,800 but if selling pressure returns, it could get ugly quick as momentum sellers are watching,” says Edward Moya, senior market analyst at Oanda.
