REFILE-Specs raise gold, silver longs, increase copper shorts

June 15 (Reuters) - Money managers increased their net long position in gold
in the week to June 12, data from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission

speculation of a new round of U.S. monetary stimulus.
They boosted their net longs in gold by 1,258 to 99,684 lots. The group also
added their net longs in silver by 764 to 7,312 contracts, while it increased
their net short position in copper by 171 to 13,346 contracts.
