Gold flat as Russia jitters, hawkish Fed outlook weigh

Gold prices remained steady on Tuesday, slightly above their three-month low, while the US dollar gained strength, with traders opting to hedge against political chaos in Russia and the Federal Reserve's hawkish outlook. Spot gold traded at $1,923.94 per ounce, while US gold futures remained flat at $1,933.90.
