Gold futures extended their rally into Asian trading on Wednesday, finding continued support after the U.S. dollar hit a fresh 14-month low, increasing investment demand for the precious metal.

"Gold's move is all about the demise of the dollar," said Cameron Peacock, a market analyst at IG Markets in Melbourne.

Gold for October delivery, the thinly traded front-month contract, was up $2.90 at $1,067.10 an ounce in electronic trading on Globex by Wednesday afternoon in Tokyo.
