Gold futures finished higher on Monday, as the concerns over the political turmoil in Russia boosted safe haven appeal of the bullion. Besides, weakness in dollar and US Treasury bond yield notes also buoyed investment appeal. However, looming concerns over hawkish Federal Reserve capped some gains in the yellow metal.
Gold futures for August delivery climbed by $4.20 or 0.2% to settle at $1933.80 ounce on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile. While, spot gold rose by $5.85 or 0.30% to $1,929.11 per ounce.
