Gold gained for the first time in three days in London as some investors bought the metal after its drop to a six-week low and as a weaker dollar spurred demand for an alternative asset.

The dollar was little changed after earlier today touching a three-week low versus the euro on speculation the European Central Bank will raise interest rates this week. European finance ministers on July 2 authorized an 8.7 billion-euro ($12.6 billion) loan payout to Greece by mid-July after the nation’s parliament passed austerity measures.
