    Gold futures advanced to their highest level in two months Thursday to make a two-session gain of $21 an ounce as weak U.S. economic data weighed the dollar lower against major currencies, spurring investment demand in gold. Such a bleak set of background factors, together with the complete absence of good news on the real estate market situation create a rather somber picture for the U.S. dollar and the stocks markets.
