Gold recovers to the highest in two weeks after U.S. Congress introduces budget bill

Gold sored to the highest in two weeks, advancing with other commodities after the greenback debased, as U.S. policymakers launched legislation preventing increase of income-tax for majority of workers, easing anxiety that a recovery of the U.S. economy might be stopped. Spot gold climbed to $1,684.75 an ounce, the most since December 18, as well as silver, platinum and palladium gained at least 0.3%.
