Gold futures settled higher on Tuesday, snapping a five-day losing streak, as the dollar lost ground after initial uptick.

Traders await a series of Fed speeches this week, culminating with Powell on Thursday and the February U.S. employment report due on Friday, which will provide an update on the speed and direction of the nation's labor market recovery.

The market is also awaiting further progress on the $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief bill. The bill will be debated in the U.S. Senate this week.
