CHICAGO, Sept. 20 (Xinhua) -- Gold futures on the COMEX division of the New York Mercantile Exchange rose on Monday as U.S. stock market indexes slumped.
The most active gold contract for December delivery rose 12.4 U.S. dollars, or 0.71 percent, to close at 1,763.8 dollars per ounce.
Falling global stock markets and good physical demand in Asia supported gold, market analysts hold.

The National Association of Home Builders' monthly confidence index increased one point to a reading of 76 in September, capping gold's rise somewhat.
