Last week moves support the view that gold is building a strong base above $600 an ounce and the violence between Israel and Hezbollah continues to nurture some safe-haven buying. Participants in the gold market were aslo following the moves of crude oil, slipping at one point below the $73 a barrel mark amid talk of a cease-fire in the Middle East.
