IGT also had higher expenses and weakening margins. It dropped 16% to $12.27, a 52-week low. | |||||||
| Gold futures ended 2% higher, settling at their highest in nearly three weeks as optimism about the euro zone emerged and the dollar declined versus the euro and other major currencies. August Gold rose $31.90 to end at $1,608.10 an ounce, its highest settlement since July 5. | |||||||
