Gold futures hit $1,000, Asia shares rise
8 September 2009 Reuters
Asian shares touched their highest level in a year on Tuesday, while gold futures hit $1,000 an ounce for the first time in six months on investor concerns about the sustainability of the global economic recovery.
With no direction from U.S. markets due to Monday's Labor Day holiday, it was a mixed start for Asian markets, with Australian shares climbing as a flurry of deals lifted hopes for a pick-up in merger activity, while Shanghai stocks were dampened by profit-taking.
