DJ: Comex Gold, Silver Supported By Soft Dollar 1406 GMT [Dow Jones] - Comex Aug gold is up $1.10 to $663.60 and Sep silver is up 10.5 cents to $12.925. "It looks like euro/dollar is holding us up here," says a Comex floor trader. The single European currency is up to $1.3706 from $1.3625 late Monday.
