Gold futures advanced to a two-week high as a decline in U.S. equities boosted demand for alternative investments. Silver futures for September delivery fell 0.2 percent to $19.99 an ounce on the Comex, the fifth drop in six sessions. Nickel posted the biggest two-day gain in five weeks after a mine in Papua New Guine a suspended operations, heightening concern that supply will trail demand.
