Gold traded higher on disappointing signals from the US economy. However, broadly stronger US Dollar and uncertainty over Greek bailout bid capped gains in the yellow metal.
Silver rallied despite weak global equities and solid greenback. The grey metal was lifted by speculation that the Fed will prolong its bond-purchasing program next year.
Platinum and Palladium remained well-supported by global supply concerns. Global output of platinum and palladium is expected to plunge 9.9% and 11% this year, driving the market into deficit in 2012.
