Gold futures edged lower on MCX as speculators remained on the side-lines in the precious metal as safe-haven demand faded amid lack of cues as most of the Asian equity markets are closed today. However, closeness of Britain's upcoming elections, prospect of early elections in Italy and worries over Greek debt capped some losses in gold futures.
Crude oil futures traded lower on MCX as investors and speculators exited their positions in the energy commodity amid lingering worries over rising output from Libya and US that is undermining OPEC-led cuts aimed at tightening supply. Reports showed that Libya's oil production is expected to rise to 800,000 barrels per day (bpd) this week.
Comex copper futures ended marginally lower on Tuesday, while London copper prices too fell in quiet trade as the market waited for top metals consumer China to return from a public holiday and data on Wednesday that is expected to show a slowdown in Chinese industrial growth. However, weaker dollar capped some losses in copper prices.
