恐怖袭击让黄金原油价格回升

Gold and oil started slightly up in nervous early trading in Asia Monday following the deadly attacks on Paris, but commodities overall are likely to remain weak on poor fundamentals.

US gold futures opened up 0.7 percent, but remained close to levels last seen in July. That's partly because investors often turn to gold as a safe haven in times of heightened risk.

Activity in crude oil futures was similar, with prices edging up slightly but remaining near August lows in high-volume trading.

Front-month US crude futures were trading at US$ 40 dollars and 85 cents a barrel, up 11 cents from their last close. Internationally-traded Brent futures were at US$ 44 dollars and 62 cents a barrel, up 15 cents.
