their highs as the U.S. dollar rebounded against a basket of foreign currencies.
COMEX gold for April delivery climbed to an intra-day high of $1,750.60 per
ounce this morning, but later tumbled to as low as $1,727 as the U.S. Dollar

higher by $6.00, or 0.4%, at $1,740.40 per ounce. In doing so, gold futures
