Gold futures prices ended the U.S. day session slightly higher Monday, while the cash, or spot, market finished modestly lower. A weaker U.S. dollar index on this day also encouraged some buying interest in gold and silver markets. Focus has turned to this week’s FOMC meeting. April Comex gold was last up $1.60 at $1,154.00 an ounce. May Comex silver was last up $0.121 at $15.615 an ounce.
