Gold climbed 1% to $4,107.01 per ounce on Monday as the dollar weakened and lower crude oil prices helped ease inflationary pressures. The gain follows a 5% advance last week driven by political shifts in the United States Congress. Investors are now positioning themselves ahead of crucial consumer price data releases.
