Gold in tight range before auction

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gold remained in its recent range in early European trade yesterday before today's British gold auction.
Gold fixed in London at US$287.45 an ounce, against $287.75 on Friday afternoon. Spot gold eased to $287.35-$287.85 from $288.80-$289.40 in New York on Friday.

Market participants expected a quiet auction with a low subscription level.

Dealers said gold failed to break through the key $290 level a number of times last week but price moves after the auction might see bullion head higher.

"The relatively narrow $5 trading ranges that have typified the market for most of January could be about to change as each of the Bank of England auctions to date has been followed by a major price move," Standard Bank London said.

It said United States funds seemed to have been buyers over the past week, which could indicate that the funds expected a break higher after the auction.

"Certainly participation from this sector would help to ensure a positive result," it said.

Earlier in Hong Kong, spot gold closed at US$288.10-$288.60 an ounce.

Tael gold finished HK$6 weaker at $2,671.
