Gold climbed as market participants bet the Fed would continue its loosening monetary policy as the US economy has not strengthened enough yet. However, the yellow metal traded in a narrow range amid solid greenback and mixed US numbers.
Silver followed gold's trend, adding 0.13%. Hopes that the US monetary policy will remain ultra-loose pushed up the grey metal. At the same time, mixed global equities coupled with firm US Dollar capped gains of the metal.
Platinum and Palladium were the top-performers amid expected supply shortage on the market next year and hopes for continuation of easing in the US.
