“TOKYO, Sept 14 (Reuters) - Gold prices erased earlier gains and fell on Monday, as the dollar rebounded on short-covering and dragged down other commodities and equities.
Gold prices topped $1,000 per ounce last week and closed above that level on Friday for the first time since March 2008, as investors sold the dollar to buy higher-yielding and riskier assets on growing optimism about the outlook for the global economy.” RPT-PRECIOUS-Gold falls as dollar rebounds, hovers above $1,000
