Oct 15 (Reuters) -Gold edged higher on Tuesday lifted by retreating Treasury yields, while investors cautiously awaited for more data that could offer fresh clues on the Federal Reserve's monetary easing cycle.
Spot gold XAU= rose 0.4% to $2,662.50 per ounce at 10:56 a.m. ET (1456 GMT), off one-week highs hit in the last session. U.S. gold futures GCcv1 gained 0.5% to $2,678.80.
The Benchmark 10-year note yields US10YT=RR slipped following a soft reading of manufacturing activity in New York State, making non-yielding gold more attractive, while dollar .DXY fell 0.2% but hovered near its highest in more than two months. USD/US/
"We're seeing a little pullback in yields at bond prices rally here. That's offering a little stability, a little support to the gold market," said David Meger, director of metals trading at High Ridge Future.
"There is expectation that gold would be going through a bit of a pause or a bit of a consolidation. We're leaning now more towards a sideways to higher uptrend as we do think that yields are going to retrace a bit. We're going to see a little bit of a pullback in the dollar."
Currently, traders see about 90% chance of a 25-basis-point cut in November, according to the CME FedWatch tool.
Markets' attention will be on upcoming U.S retail sales, industrial production data, and weekly jobless claims due later this week.
Gold, which yields no interest of its own, also gains in times of political and economic uncertainties.
Should the media reports prove to be true and Israel refrains from targeting Iran's oil and nuclear sites in the expected retaliatory strike, geopolitical risks would decrease and support for the gold price from this side would also fade, Commerzbank said in a note.
"We see slight downside risks for the gold price and expect the gold price to be $2,600 at the end of the year."
Spot silver XAG= rose 1.4% to $31.61 per ounce and Platinum XPT= fell 0.6% to $987.20. Palladium XPD= was down 1.9% to $1,010.50.
