After the biggest swoon in gold futures prices in almost three years, the market steadied.
Gold futures for December delivery slipped 0.1 percent to $1,268.60 an ounce at 1:46 p.m. on the Comex in New York, after slumping 3.3 percent on Tuesday. Prices are down 7.9 percent since a July peak as expectations for tighter monetary policy in Europe and the U.S. dent the appeal of the metal.
