Washington-Sana
Gold prices rose today following the continued demonstrations in the United States, which increased the demand for the metal Elvis as a tool for safe investment, while the decline in the dollar provided more support.
Reuters reported that the price of gold in spot transactions closed up 0.7 percent to 1738.30 dollars an ounce, as US gold futures fell 0.1 percent to 1750.30 dollars an ounce.
The dollar index fell to its lowest level since mid-March, which gives more support to the prices of the precious metal.
Silver rose 2.3 percent to 18.25 dollars an ounce, palladium increased 0.97 percent to 1963.20 dollars an ounce, while platinum jumped 1.2 percent to 848.56 dollars an ounce.
