Gold rose in Asia after the biggest decline in almost three weeks was seen as overdone by some investors. Silver gained.
Bullion lost 1.4 percent yesterday, the largest one-day drop since Oct. 2, as the dollar's rebound from a record against the euro reduced the precious metal's appeal as an alternative investment. The euro stabilized at $1.4197 at 10:48 a.m. Singapore time today, after losing 0.8 percent yesterday.
"Gold's move yesterday was a bit overdone," said Jonathan Barratt, managing director of Commodity Broking Services in Sydney. Demand for gold as an investment underpinned bullion at around the $746 level, he said.
Gold for immediate delivery gained as much as $3.70, or 0.5 percent, to $757.90 an ounce, before trading at $757.60 at 10:36 a.m. in Singapore. It fell to as low as $745.83 yesterday. Silver for immediate delivery gained 3 cents, or 0.3 percent, to $13.50 an ounce.
