NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Gold and metals futures rallied on Tuesday, as talk of a German plan to rescue Greece led stocks to soar, removing safe-haven demand for the dollar and lifting commodities.
"As far as gold is concerned, it is getting a boost today from the stronger euro and a weaker dollar," said Douglas Keller, analyst at Harvest Capital Services.
Gold for April delivery finished up $11, or 1%, at $1,077.20 an ounce at the New York Mercantile Exchange.
