Gold Gained A Little

U.S. gold futures ended slightly higher Tuesday, as the euro rose against the US dollar, dealers said.

February delivery gold futures rose 50 cents to $423.50 an ounce on the New York Mercantile Exchange's COMEX division, after trading a tight range of $424.20 to $421.40.

Euro heightened its position again, however, traders said that it was "an exceedingly quiet day, with very little action."
