Precious metals ended the week on the positive note, drawing strength from long-awaited QE3 announcement made on Thursday. Adding to the positive mood of the commodity group, the greenback continued to depreciate on dismal industrial production data from the US.

Palladium prolonged its 11-day advance on brighter industrial demand prospects after the Fed launched the new round of QE. Mounting hopes that China will loosen its monetary policy also lifted the precious metal.
