Gold near 2½-month lows on equities, fund outflows


SINGAPORE: Gold was steady but near its lowest in more than two months on Wednesday, with stronger equities denting the metal's safe-haven appeal and outflows from bullion funds showing weak investor appetite.

The metal was also weighed down by US data that showed home prices rose in February and existing home sales were a bit stronger than expected. A solid economic recovery would hurt gold's appeal as an alternative investment.
