NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Gold futures for December delivery rose to an intraday high of $1,009.40 on Tuesday as the dollar weakened and inflation concerns grew.

The December contract, the most active, last traded at $1,006.80 on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

It's the first time a front-month contract has traded above $1,000 in six months.

The dollar fell to 92.18 yen from 93.05.
