Gold prices climbed Tuesday to mark their highest settlement in two-and-a-half weeks. A sizable decline in the U.S. dollar, as concerns surrounding a potential trade war and tensions between North and South Korea appeared to ease, provided a lift to dollar-denominated prices of the yellow metal. April gold climbed $15.30, or 1.2%, to settle at $1,335.20 an ounce. That was the lowest finish since Feb. 16, according to FactSet data.
