Some investors may buy gold as a cheaper alternative to oil, analysts say. Last year, gold moved higher at about half the rate of oil's appreciation, with the precious metal rising 31 percent while oil advanced 57 percent.

This year, gold gained 5.7 percent before today, while oil jumped 31 percent.

Also on the Nymex, July silver futures gained 32 cents to end at $17.23 an ounce and July copper edged up 3 cents to finish at $3.75 a pound. July platinum added $21.50 to close at $2,123.30 an ounce and June palladium gained $2.95 to close at $446.80 an ounce.
