Gold rose in London as a weaker dollar spurred investors to buy bullion to hedge against further declines in the currency.

The U.S. Dollar Index, a measure against six counterparts, fell as much as 0.4 percent after Abu Dhabi pledged to bail out Dubai. Gold, which typically moves inversely to the dollar, dropped to four-week low of $1,109.55 an ounce on Dec. 11, as the dollar climbed to a two-month high against the euro.
