Gold rises as faith in currencies ebbs

The COMEX April gold futures contract closed up $3.70 Monday at $1105.40, trading between $1101.00 and $1108.70

March 15, p.m. excerpts:
(from Marketwatch) --
Gold futures rose after Moody's Investors Service said risks are growing for the ratings of the four largest AAA-rated economies -- the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany and France -- leading investors to seek shelter in gold.

The US will be the biggest spender through 2013. Moody's said the US and the UK have moved closer to losing their Aaa credit ratings. "Gold is a good spot to be parking your money for the time being," said Frank Lesh, trader at FuturePath Trading LLC. "Gold has that flight-to-safety aspect to it.
