Gold continued its upward momentum for the third straight session on Tuesday, building on its rebound from last week. The spot price increased by 1% to reach $4,432.74 per ounce as of 0217 GMT, marking its highest point since June 5. Meanwhile, U.S. gold futures rose 1.7% to settle at $4,492.60. This rise pushed gold prices beyond the seven-week high recorded last week and signaled a recovery that gained pace following weaker U.S. employment data.
