Gold Silver GLD IAU SLV[1]Gold climbed fractionally in Tuesday trading after the U.S. dollar slipped in the wake of a negative economic report.

The Conference Board’s consumer confidence index dropped to a reading of 70.4 in November, down from a reading of 72.4 in October. That marked the index’s lowest reading since April, disappointing economists who had predicted a slight gain. The report sent the dollar lower against other currencies.
