MW: Gold falls as data show signs of economic recovery
Gold futures fell Wednesday as U.S. economic data showed signs of economic recovery, reducing the metal's appeal as a safe-haven investment. But a weaker dollar kept gold's losses limited. Orders for U.S.-made durable goods rose 3.4% in February, marking the first increase after six monthly declines and the biggest gain since December 2007, the Commerce Department reported. Gold was down $4.30, or 0.5%, at $919.50 an ounce in early morning trading on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange.
