Bullion Intraday

· Gold declined from a record in Asia as some investors judged the recent rally was overdone. Silver also fell.

· Gold has gained 36 percent since Sept. 18, when Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke made the first of five cuts in the U.S. benchmark interest rate to stave off a recession. The rates cuts increase the appeal of bullion as an alternative investment to other dollar-denominated assets, and raise inflation concerns.

· The dollar had gained after both European and Japanese officials expressed concern about the recent sharp raises in their currencies against the US unit.

· Market players, however, are skeptical about the prospect of actual intervention to prop up the dollar, while there are still no fundamental reasons to buy the US currency.

· Banro Corp., the Canadian developer of gold mines in the Democratic Republic of Congo, may sell stakes in two deposits to help finance their development.

· That's one of the options available to Banro before if invests $536 million to build the mines, Chief Executive Officer Mike Prinsloo said yesterday in an interview. The company may take on debt using the deposits as collateral, he said.
