Net bullish bets on gold were near unchanged for the week ended Tuesday, compared to the previous week. 
 
 Net bets on a higher gold price fell slightly to 59,679 contracts, down from 59,936 the week before, according to CFTC data. 
 
 Gold has rebounded in 2017 from a long fall, as the uncertainty of the implications of a Donald Trump presidency and British exit from the EU have boosted gold demand. However, a stock market rally that took U.S. indices to new highs this week has caused headwinds for gold, which ended the week down 1.3%, breaking a four-week winning streak.

– It's stock market history: The Dow Jones industrial average eclipsed 20,000 for the first time Wednesday, triggering cheers from the floor of the New York Stock Exchange, reports the AP. The Dow hit the mark upon opening for the day. The Wall Street Journal notes that the Dow was under 18,000 as recently as Nov. 4, but the markets have since spiked, buoyed in part by President Trump's promise of infrastructure projects.
