COMEX Gold rose to $1864.65 per ounce before easing back. Dollar stabilized after earlier falling back from a two-decade high. The Dollar Index, which tracks the greenback against a basket of six other currencies, was at 103.68, having risen as high as 104.19 overnight, a fresh 20-year peak. Meanwhile, the benchmark US treasury yields eased on Tuesday, after hitting a high of 3.2%, its highest level since 2018.
