Dollar Falls in Thin Trading Amid Holiday Market
The dollar slumped in very light trading as markets opened in New York. Gold edged up to 336.10 per troy ounce on the N Y M E with a late bid at 336.00 while analysts blamed thin market conditions and ongoing fund selling for the weakness. Swiss franc rose as voters rejected closer EC ties, signaling isolation may be viewed positively. Holiday market thinness and tapering activity were noted by traders.
