GOLD

LONDON - Gold prices firmed on Friday, rebounding from a 3-1/2-month low as the dollar softened, while investors remained cautious ahead of Greece's referendum on an international bailout deal.

Spot gold XAU= was up 0.2 percent at $1,167.73 an ounce by 1823 GMT. It had dropped to $1,156.85 - its lowest since mid-March - ahead of Thursday's U.S. non-farm payrolls data but pared losses as the dollar fell against a basket of currencies after the data showed jobs growth was weaker than expected last month.

Benchmark copper CMCU3 on the London Metal Exchange was untraded at the close but bid at $5,758 a tonne from $5,795 at Thursday's close.
