GOLD
NEW YORK/LONDON - Gold rebounded on Monday from 5-1/2 month lows as the dollar shed some of the hefty gains made the previous week on bets that U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's plans for fiscal stimulus would prove inflation.
Lower prices are also tempting some consumers of physical gold back to the market, dealers said.
Spot gold XAU= was up 0.3 percent at $1,212 an ounce by 2:59 p.m. EST (1959 GMT), while U.S. gold futures GCv1 for December delivery settled up 0.09 percent at $1,209.80.
