LONDON: Gold rebounded on Tuesday as global share markets dropped, but bullion was still heading for its second monthly fall, pressured by a strong dollar and expectations the US Federal Reserve will increase interest rates this year.

Spot silver rose 0.5pc to $16.76 an ounce, while platinum gained 1.8pc to $1,135.74 an ounce.
