NEW YORK, June 25 (Reuters) - U.S. gold futures finished lower on Monday on bearish sentiment, but off session lows as crude oil prices recovered and trade was quiet ahead of a slew of economic indicators later this week, traders said.
"As far as the metals are concerned, it's really lackluster," Jonathan Jossen, an independent trader, said from the COMEX floor.
Gold for August delivery on the New York Mercantile Exchange's COMEX division settled down $2.30 at $654.70 an ounce, dealing from $651.60 to $657.70.
Jossen said that investor sentiment was largely bearish and buying interest was lacking because of a host of factors including a higher interest-rate environment, weaker oil prices and sagging stock markets.
