SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Gold futures jumped Thursday, leaving behind a lackluster start of floor trading to rally as stocks also gained and talks of another round of quantitative easing in the background. Gold for June delivery GCM2 +0.87% advanced $14.10, or 0.9%, to $1,674.20 an ounce on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange. "With equities higher, this tells me this is liquidity-driven move," with traders positioning for any hints of stimulus in the U.S. or China, said Adam Klopfenstein, a market strategist at Archer Financial.
