NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — Gold futures rose Monday, extending their gains from
the previous session, boosted by soaring crude-oil prices.

Gold for June delivery gained $9.10 at $867.10 an ounce on the New York
Mercantile Exchange.

On Friday, gold closed up $7.10 at $858 an ounce, but the precious metal still
ended the week with a loss of nearly $32 an ounce.

Crude-oil futures rallied more than 2%, propelled higher by concerns about supply
disruptions in Nigeria.
