MW: Gold falls on stronger dollar, higher equities
NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Gold futures fell Friday for a second session, as a stronger dollar and rising equities curbed the metal's attractiveness. Reducing gold's safe-haven appeal, European stocks rose Friday for a fifth session, while U.S. equities ended Thursday's trading up for a fourth day. In early North American trading, August gold slid 70 cents, or 0.1%, to $934.70 an ounce.
