Gold rose slightly in early Asian trading. Tickmill Executive Director Joseph Dahrieh said in an email that the price of gold continues to benefit from the market's firm expectations that the Federal Reserve will further relax monetary policy, continued purchases by central banks, and expanding geopolitical risks. These risks are maintaining safe-haven capital flows. This week's market focus will likely be key US government data, such as the November employment report to be released on Tuesday and the November CPI data to be released on Thursday. Spot gold rose 0.1% to $4,305.27 an ounce.
