Gold climb in Asia as crude gain spurs inflation concern

SINGAPORE, Oct 20: Gold gained in Asia as rising oil prices attracted investors seeking a hedge against inflation.

Crude oil in New York rose for a second day after the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries increased the size of a planned output cut and said it may reduce production again. Gold has moved mostly in lockstep with oil this year.

Gold gained 1.63 dollar, or 0.3 percent, to 601.03 dollar an ounce. The precious metal reached a 26-year high of $730.40 on May 12. Gold for delivery in December rose 1.60 dollar to 604.10 dollar an ounce on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange.

Some investors buy gold when energy prices climb. Gold futures reached a record 873 dollar an ounce in January 1980 when oil costs doubled in a year, pushing up inflation rate.

A futures contract is an obligation to buy or sell a commodity at a set price for delivery by a specific date. (AGENCIES)
