        <Name>Gold Drops in Commodities Trading</Name>
        <Summary>Spread bets and CFDs on gold prices</Summary>
        <Description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2" face="verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;Spread betting and contracts for differences on&lt;b&gt; commodities&lt;/b&gt; should consider that gold is falling. Gold prices continue to move lower on optimism that U.S. fundamentals are improving and economic recovery is on the way.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2" face="verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.marketwatch.com/story/gold-futures-edge-down-in-thin-trading-2009-12-23?siteid=rss&amp;amp;rss=1" target="_blank" title="gold prices, commodities trading, spread bets, CFDs, spread betting, contracts for differences, U.S. dollar, stock market"&gt;Marketwatch reports on today's gold prices in commodities trading&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;blockquote&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2" face="verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;
&amp;quot;Trade has been thinner than normal overnight, with Japanese players
absent for a national holiday,&amp;quot; said James Moore, an analyst at
TheBullionDesk.com, in a note to clients. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
    &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2" face="verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;
&amp;quot;In the run-up to year-end, &lt;b&gt;we expect gold to see further pockets of
long liquidation&lt;/b&gt;, potentially pulling back to the $1,050 area,&amp;quot; Moore
said. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2" face="verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;Gold is significantly below the $1,100 mark, sitting at around $1,087. This recent turn of events, with the &lt;a href="item/247566" target="_blank" title="gold prices, commodities trading, spread bets, CFDs, spread betting, contracts for differences, U.S. dollar, stock market"&gt;U.S. stock market&lt;/a&gt; on the rise, along with the &lt;b&gt;U.S. dollar&lt;/b&gt;, is putting pressure on gold prices as investors look for riskier investments. Some gold bugs hope that there will be a gold play on inflation as recovery heats up, but so far inflation has remained relatively staid. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</Description>
