Gold held below $900 an ounce on Tuesday, giving up some of the previous sessions’ gains, as easing risk aversion dampened interest in the precious metal. Spot gold was quoted at $898.65/900.25 an ounce at 1403 GMT, against $902.65 in New York late on Monday. Earlier it slipped to a low of $891.60 an ounce.
