Bank buying pulls gold to 3-week high

NEW YORK (CBS.MW) -- Gold futures prices hit a three-week high Thursday morning,
lifted by strong buying from bullion banks, as investors bought back into the market
following nearly three weeks of trading around the $265-an-ounce level. Shares of
precious-metals companies also rose.

"The gold market saw more buying from Asia overnight, which is spooking some of the large
fund short positions," said Dave Meger, an analyst at Alaron.com in Chicago. Large
investors are buying back into the market and have taken gold futures out of their tight
three-week trading range.

The potential for a rally lies within the large fund net short position, Meger said, referring to
the fact that many large investors have sold their positions but many have yet to offset that
sale with a purchase.
