Gold prices pared gains on Tuesday under pressure from concerns about rapid interest rate hikes to tame inflation and an overall stronger U.S. dollar. Spot gold was up 0.1% at $1,712.09 per ounce as of 1018 GMT.

Focus this week will be on the European Central Bank meeting on Thursday, where it is expected to deliver a 75 basis-point interest rate hike to tame surging prices.
