NEW YORK, Feb 6 (Reuters) - J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. on Wednesday squashed rumors in financial markets
that it sustained a loss during Tuesday's powerful gold rally, saying instead it made a profit on gold's run to
two-year highs.
"We had a very good day yesterday," said a senior bank official with knowledge of the bank's bullion trading
operations. "There is no truth to the rumor that we have a short position in the market, and I don't know where
that came from."

He emphasized, "We did not lose money."

COMEX benchmark April gold futures shot up $9 on Tuesday and continued to rally early Wednesday, topping
at $309 an ounce, up more than $20 since Monday. The contract was last down $1.10 at $298 an ounce.

Spot gold was quoted at $296.90/8.40, off from New York's close Tuesday at $298.00/75. Earlier Wednesday it
hit a two-year high at $305 an ounce.
