Open interest in gold futures markets extended the uptrend on Tuesday, this time by around 1.6K contracts according to preliminary readings from CME Group. Volume, instead, shrank for the second session in a row, now by nearly 9K contracts.

In the meantime, bulls continue to target the key hurdle at the $2000 mark per troy ounce for the time being.
