SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Gold futures ended a seesawing session higher on Monday, regaining some ground on the last hour of trading and settling at their best since early December. Gold for April delivery GC2J +0.35% advanced $6, or 0.4%, to finish at $1,740.40 an ounce on the New York Mercantile Exchange. That took gold's monthly gains to 11%, contrasting with losses of around 10% for December. Gold earlier on Tuesday wavered between small losses and gains after the dollar strengthened and U.S. macroeconomic data came in negative.
