India, June 30 -- Gold prices were little changed on Tuesday, after having fallen to their lowest level in nearly eight months earlier due to Fed rate hike jitters and lingering U.S.-Iran tensions over the control of Strait of Hormuz. Spot gold was little changed at $4,016 on ounce but was down more than 11 percent so far in June, marking its fourth consecutive monthly fall and the biggest quarterly drop since April 2013. U.S. gold futures were down 0.2 percent at $4,031 an ounce.

Talks between the United States and Iran in Doha appear uncertain after recent exchange of fire in the Strait of Hormuz.
