    The dollar had lost ground and suggested a strong round of buying in gold. The growing tension between Israel and Hezbollah also made prices rise. Silver rose to a high, before settling down, but was up on the day. Copper futures failed to take out the peak on Monday, its best level since July 19. Crude oil finished on the rise too.
