Gold continued to decline on Tuesday falling for a third day before a report in the U.S. showed that the country's payrolls expanded by more than economists had expected signaling that the Federal Reserve may scale back its stimulus measures. Bullion for delivery in October slipped 0.1% to $1,314.70 an ounce as of 8:36 a.m. Singapore time following a 3.5% gain recorded last week.
