GOLD MOVING DOWN
Jan. 26 (Bloomberg) -- Gold fell in New York as a stronger dollar curbed the metal’s appeal as an alternative asset and as some investors sold bullion to cover losses in equity markets. Other precious metals dropped.

The dollar climbed as much as 0.6 percent against the euro and European equities posted the longest losing streak in more than six months on speculation China will take further steps to cool its economic growth, curbing demand for higher-yielding assets. Gold typically moves inversely to the dollar.

“Given the pressure put upon commodity markets generally by a strong dollar, it shall be hard for gold to hold itself erect,” Dennis Gartman, a Suffolk, Virginia-based economist and hedge-fund manager, told clients in his Gartman Letter today. Some investors may sell the metal because “capital can be raised to meet demands in other markets from gold,” he said.

Gold futures for April delivery lost $9.10, or 0.8 percent, to $1,087.70 an ounce on the New York Mercantile Exchange’s Comex unit at 8:32 a.m. local time. Gold for immediate delivery in London was 1.1 percent lower at $1,086.68.

The metal fell to $1,090.75 an ounce in the morning “fixing” in London, used by some mining companies to sell production, from $1,095.25 at yesterday’s afternoon fixing. Spot prices are 11 percent below a record $1,226.56 set on Dec. 3.
