Gold still advancing as Dollar weakens
Gold kept to trade above the $1,300 level as investors continue purchasing the metal instead of the greenback. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said not to taper the quantitative easing unless employment data improves, which weakened the Dollar. Gold futures increased 2.21% to $1.321.60 an ounce as of 11:46 a.m. EDT, while silver went up 4.18% to $20.275 an ounce.
