There are 3 most notable information affecting gold prices in yesterday's trading session.
First, the lower-than-expected US employment figures are one of the reasons for gold prices to rise to a 10-month peak. This has eased speculation about the possibility of the Federal Reserve (Fed) raising interest rates again in December.
Second, tensions between the US and North Korea continue to make investors seek gold as a safe haven.
Third, platinum, another precious metal, also surged to a 16-year high amid concerns about the devastating storm Houston. USD Index price decreased. Experts are concerned that US GDP will decline in the third quarter as hurricanes and consecutive heavy rains have swept through Houston, Texas, including major refineries.
