By Kate Gibson
NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Gold prices climbed Monday, extending last week's gains, as investors mulled additional steps by the Federal Reserve ahead of the central bank's meeting this week. Gold futures for December delivery were up $3.60 at $1,208.80 an ounce in electronic trade on the New York Mercantile Exchange. A recent bout of soft U.S. economic data has fueled speculation the Fed might announce more monetary easing after its meeting on Tuesday.
