SINGAPORE, May 14 (Reuters) - Gold rose on Monday on the back of a weaker dollar, while platinum dropped as dealers awaited the release of a supply and demand report by refiner Johnson Matthey .

-- Key April 2008 gold futures on the Tokyo Commodity Exchange added 21 yen per gram to 2,624 yen to track a rebound in New York's COMEX market.
