A decline in the U.S. dollar tracking a disappointing jobs report on Friday provided the drive for gold to continue its rally. The market has blamed the weaker tone of the dollar on news that U.S. employment last month grew at the slowest pace since November 2004. All the other precious metals also advanced. All energy stocks finished lower.
