Gold futures tumbled Monday, as the precious metal fell to a one-month low.
The metal has been clipped by Federal Reserve interest rate hikes, she believes the market will take the view that the central bank "will probably only hike twice in 2018, and that should support gold at current levels.
However, in the longer term, gold probably won't hold up against an eventual economic recovery.
The key data point we will be watching Tuesday morning is the consumer confidence number, which is set to be released at 10 a.m. ET by the Conference Board.
The number, which measures consumers' views about the economy, fell more than expected in May and analysts are expecting a further fall in June.
