"We have seen some physical buying at the North American open," said Andy Montano, a director of bullion dealer ScotiaMocatta in Toronto.

U.S. gold futures reversed initial losses to rise early on Tuesday on physical buying and bargain-hunting, as bullion investors continued to closely follow the currency markets ahead of the release of the Federal Reserve meeting minutes.
