Gold futures finished slightly lower Wednesday, as a delay in a rescue plan for Greece lifted the dollar, reducing the precious metal's appeal as a hedge. Gold for April delivery ended 90 cents lower at $1,076.30 an ounce on the New York Mercantile Exchange, though that was well above an intraday low of $1,063.10.
