Gold gained in Asia on Tuesday with sentiment on the rate outlook awaiting further insights from a slew of Fed speakers as well as the US treasury secretary. Overnight, gold prices rose to a more-than-one month high on Monday buoyed by an uptick in safe-haven demand amid reports suggesting North Korea was preparing to launch a missile as part of its army’s winter training regime. A Japanese diplomat warned on Monday that radio signals detected from the North Korea indicated another North Korean missile test was close, fuelling demand for safe-haven gold. “There is a possibility of missiles launches in the next few days,” a Japanese government official said on Monday, according to Japan's Kyodo news agency.

Oil prices slipped in Asian trade on Tuesday amid uncertainty over a possible extension of output cuts by major crude producers and expectations of higher supply as the Keystone pipeline restarts.U.S. crude touched $59.05 a barrel on Friday, the highest level since mid-2015, fueled by the outage of the Keystone pipeline, one of Canada's main crude export routes to the United States. But TransCanada Corp (TO:TRP) this week said it would restart the 590,000 barrel-per-day pipeline at reduced pressure later on Tuesday after getting approval from U.S. regulators. Uncertainty over Russia's determination to join with other major oil producers in extending crude production curbs beyond next March has weighed on oil markets. Members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and other key producers, including Russia, will meet on Nov. 30 to discuss whether to continue with the cuts after they agreed last January to withhold 1.8 million bpd of output.
