Precious metals moved ahead Tuesday, led by palladium which surged 2.2%. Gold ended the day near a 10-week high, following two straight session losses.

Gold for February delivery tacked on $10.80, or 0.6%, to settle at $1,852.50 an ounce on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange. The settlement was the highest since Nov. 18 when gold ended at $1,861.40 an ounce.

"It’s a general ‘risk-off’ trading mentality in the marketplace early this week, and that’s prompting buying interest in the safe-haven metals,” Jim Wyckoff, a senior analyst at Kitco Inc, said in a daily research note.

Gold futures ranged from a low of $1,834.40 to a high of $1,853.40. They rose 0.5% on Monday.
