Gold prices fell more than 1 percent to the lowest price in nearly six years on Tuesday, pressured by expectations that the United States will raise interest rates in December, and as the dollar rose and stocks rebounded from losses suffered after Friday's attacks in Paris.

The other precious metals followed gold down, with silver dropping for the fourteenth straight session to a 2-1/2-month low and platinum tapping a seven-year low.

Spot gold was down 1.1 percent at $1,070.18 an ounce, after falling to $1,065.18, the lowest since February 2010.

U.S. gold futures for December delivery settled down 1.4 percent at $1,068.60.
