Gold holds above $1,050

LONDON - Gold rose above $1,050 (U.S.) an ounce on Monday, wiping out most of the previous week's losses, as dollar weakness made bullion cheaper for holders of other currencies.

Spot gold rose to $1,052 an ounce at 1102 GMT, compared with New York's notional close of $1,044.40, erasing its 1-per cent loss from the week before.

Last week gold registered its first weekly loss since the week of Sept. 25, after dollar weakness had helped spur four consecutive weeks of gains.

The U.S. dollar drifted lower against a basket of major currencies. The euro bid at $1.4765.

Silver traded at $16.50 from $16.27.

Platinum was at $1,329 from $1,322.5.

Palladium was at $322.50 from $318.5.

Copper up on strong Chinese manufacturing data

LONDON - Copper prices rose above $6,500 (U.S.) on Monday, underpinned by a weaker U.S. dollar and strong manufacturing data from China, with investors at the sidelines ahead of U.S. manufacturing data.

Benchmark copper on the London Metal Exchange traded at $6,522 a tonne at 1021 GMT from a close of $6,480 on Friday, when the metal fell nearly 3 per cent after mixed economic data raised concerns over the pace of global recovery.

Data released overnight showed HSBC's China Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) rose to an 18-month high in October from September, pointing to sustained strength in the country's manufacturing sector. The numbers helped offset Friday figures which showed U.S. consumer spending fell in September and sentiment turned gloomier in October.
