Gold futures remained range-bound to start one of the most quiet weeks of the year.

With traders celebrating the holidays and no major economic data to consider, gold prices inched down near December’s 6-year lows.

February gold futures ended $7.60 lower at $1,068.30 an ounce. Gold prices are down about 9 percent in 2015, having slipped below $1050 earlier in the month.
