COMMODITIES

GOLD

NEW YORK - Gold fell on Monday in line with a retreat in oil prices, giving up some of last week's gains, but moves were range bound in thin liquidity in a holiday-shortened week.

OIL

NEW YORK - Oil fell more than 3 percent on Monday, with global benchmark Brent back near 11-year lows as last week's short-covering dried up and players worried that crude prices had more room to swoon in the new year.

Brent settled down $1.27 at $36.62 a barrel, after falling to a session low of $36.52. It hit $35.98 on Tuesday, its lowest since 2004.

Brent also settled below U.S. crude's West Texas Intermediate (WTI) futures for a fourth straight day, showing its waning influence over WTI after this month's decision by the United States to lift a 40-year ban on U.S. crude exports.

WTI finished the session down $1.29 at $36.81, after an intraday low at $36.66.
