Gold futures finished lower Wednesday, extending their losses to a fourth session in a row. A spike in the U.S. ISM services index to an 11-month high and gains in U.S. equities helped dull the metal's investment appeal. December delivery settled at $1,268.60 an ounce Wednesday, down $1.10, or 0.1%.
