EUR/USD extends the decline toward 1.1600 in the European session on Tuesday.

Gold attracts some intraday selling and falls around $100 from the daily top, around the $5,380 area.

However, concerns about a broader regional conflict in the Middle East continue to weigh on investors' sentiment and underpin demand for the traditional safe-haven bullion.
