Gold rose on Tuesday as European shares fell 1 % and the dollar hit its lowest in over a month versus the euro, after last week's soft U.S. growth data dented expectations for a near-term interest rate hike.

Spot gold was up 0.5 percent at $1,359.17 an ounce at 0940 GMT, while U.S. gold futures for December delivery were up $6.30 an ounce at $1,365.90.

Holdings of the world's largest gold-backed exchange-traded fund, SPDR Gold Shares, rose 5.9 tonnes on Monday, its biggest one-day inflow since late June.

Gold is highly sensitive to U.S. interest rates, which lift the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding bullion, while boosting the dollar, in which it is priced.

Among other precious metals, platinum rose 0.7 percent at $1,164.74 an ounce on Tuesday, after touching a more than 14-month high of $1,168 earlier in the day.
