Gold futures reached a six-month high on Tuesday at the New York Mercantile Exchange after the U.S. trade deficit widened more than expected in December. Silver futures followed gold lead and also hit a two-month high. Triggered by a drawdown in inventories, copper futures broke out of a recent range and finished at a nearly two-week high. Oil and the other energy futures gained too.
