The gold futures price on June contracts rose $13.80 to $1,643.90 a troy ounce. The commodity's price gain followed March's weak employment report, which speculators feel will lead to continued accommodative policy moves by the Federal Reserve. Increased demand for gold continued on Monday as many investors seek to hedge against the effects that easy-money policies have on the dollar.
