SINGAPORE (Reuters) - Cash gold and U.S. gold futures extended losses on Tuesday and plunged to their weakest in more than two years as investors dumped their holdings on fears about central bank sales and worries about global growth.
Silver tracked gold lower, while the most active bullion contract on Tokyo Commodity Exchange sank almost 10 percent.
