US Gold Rose Almost $2

US gold futures shake off a stronger U.S. dollar to post gains Monday on technical strength as the cash market remained above 350 euros, traders said, Dow Jones reported.

August contract gold settled up $1.80 to $431.10.

A trader said gold generally remained technically strong after cash metal
climbed through the 350-euro area on Friday.

"It's just holding its strength despite the dollar," he said.
