SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Gold futures fell $8 an ounce Thursday to post their first loss this month for the New York floor-session, pressured by a rebound in the U.S. dollar.
Gold for December delivery fell $8, or 0.7%, to end at $1,106.6 an ounce by the end of floor trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange's Comex division. It was the contract's first loss for the official settlement this month.
The tumble followed a new high by the contract of $1,123.4 an ounce, hit during the session in electronic trade.
