Gold May Advance as First Monthly Drop Since March Spurs Demand
Gold, little changed, may gain on speculation that a drop in prices in July, the first monthly loss since March, is spurring some physical demand.
Gold for immediate delivery rose as much as 0.2 percent to $1,185.65 an ounce and traded at $1,184.85 at 9:04 a.m. in Singapore. The metal touched a record $1,265.30 an ounce on June 21 and has weakened 4.6 percent in July. August-delivery futures in New York were also little changed at $1,187.90 an ounce.
