NEW YORK (MarketWatch)-- Gold futures rose on Tuesday, as upbeat U.S. earnings further fueled risk-taking and pressured the dollar to another 14-month low against the euro, lifting the appeal of gold as an alternative. Gold for December delivery, the most actively traded contract, rose $6.90, or 0.7%, to $1,065 an ounce. The dollar index (DXY 75.16, -0.35, -0.46%) , which measures the U.S. unit against a basket of six major currencies, stood at 75.159, down from 75.241 late Monday.
