Gold prices saw a late upside push to finish modestly higher on the day Monday, after trading weaker most of the session. Bullish “outside markets” on this day—a weaker U.S. dollar index and higher crude oil prices—helped to give the gold and silver buyers the late advantage. It was a calmer start to the trading week, following an active period seen last week. That also allowed for some backing and filling on the technical charts. April Comex gold was last up $1.90 at $1,281.10 an ounce. March Comex silver last traded up $0.055 at $17.27 an ounce.
