Bloomberg.com: Commodities: "Feb. 14 (Bloomberg) -- Gold climbed to a six-month high in London as the dollar extended declines against the euro, spurring demand for the precious metal as an alternative asset.

Investment demand for gold in exchange-traded funds, or ETFs, tracked by the World Gold Council has increased 2.1 percent this year to 18.5 million ounces. The gains accelerated this week as the dollar fell against the euro to the lowest since Jan. 4."
