June 8 - Money managers increased their net long position in gold by nearly 30 percent in the week to June 5, data from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) showed, after last week's disappointing U.S. jobs data fueled speculation of a new round of U.S. monetary stimulus. They boosted their net longs in gold by 21,101 to 98,426 lots and added their net longs in silver by 1,637 to 6,549 contracts. The group increased their net short position in copper by 6,418 to 13,175 contracts.
