The inability of gold to stay above $600 an ounce late last week, together with a stronger U.S. dollar and weaker crude oil weighed heavily on gold on Monday. Liquidation emerged early in the day, when sell stops were hit. Other precious metals were also under fire and declined. Copper fell in harmony with the rest of the metals complex and witnessed a heavy selling after a weak close on Friday.
