Gold prices rose today, approaching a three-month high reached last week, after weaker than expected job data in the United States supported hopes that interest rates will remain low for some time, which boosted appetite for the metal.
Reuters reported that gold rose 0.2 percent in spot transactions to 1834.96 dollars an ounce, and US gold futures contracts increased 0.2 percent to 1835 dollars an ounce.
As for other precious metals, palladium rose 0.3 percent to $ 2934.15, silver rose 1.1 percent to $ 27.74, while platinum rose 0.6 percent to $ 1256.27.
