Considering advanced prints from CME Group for gold futures markets, open interest shrank for the second session in a row on Tuesday, this time by around 2.3K contracts. Volume followed suit and dropped by around 9.8K contracts, also reaching the second consecutive daily pullback.

That said, the next contention area emerges around the $1935 region per ounce troy.
