NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Gold futures posted small losses on Tuesday, falling from near a one-month high, as the U.S. dollar gained and reduced the appeal of the precious metal as an alternative investment. A business-sentiment survey in Germany and comments from a Bank of England official also damped speculation that an economic recovery would fuel inflation, which would also make gold a more attractive investment. Gold for April delivery slid $1 to $1,112 an ounce.
