Gold Pushes Past Record High As Dollar Slips

1149 ET – Gold climbs to record highs, with futures recently up 1.1% to $2,091.80 an ounce. A weaker dollar is helping prop gold up, says Peter Cardillo of Spartan Capital Securities. “Gold prices are surging this morning as the dollar and falling yields pave the way for gold to close the year near its 52-week high,” Cardillo says.
