Gold futures finished tad higher on Monday, aided by the safe haven appeal of the bullion tracking surging global spread of coronavirus. However, firmer US currency and a lack of headway on a US fiscal stimulus capped further gains.
Gold futures for December delivery rose by 50 cents, or 0.03%, to settle at $1,905.70 an ounce on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile. Spot gold rose 0.3% to $1,907.77 per ounce.
