Gold futures ended on Thursday at their highest level since August, extending their gains to three sessions supported by the recent strength in oil prices and a slight decline in the value of the dollar which helped lift prices past $660 an ounce during the session. The market is obviously readjusting itself based on strong fundamental factors and with rising energy prices and a weakening dollar. Silver, platinum and palldaium also advanced, while copper dropped.
