Gold and silver futures recovered from early weakness to finish with only
tiny losses in New York Thursday, Dow Jones reported.
Speculative buying returned after an early
profit-taking pullback that was blamed largely on a stronger U.S. dollar.
February gold settled down 80 cents to $549.30 an ounce but well up from a
low of $543.20. March silver settled a mere half cent lower at $9.06 an ounce
after a low of $8.93.
