On Thursday, gold soared to the highest value in six weeks in European trade, right after the Fed’s cautious wording on the American inflation outlook drove hopes that policy tightening would be glacial.
Gold futures showed $1,262.82 a troy ounce, gaining 1.1%. The commodity hits its highest value since June 15.
On Wednesday, the precious commodity sank for a third-straight session before moving up in post-settlement trade as the greenback weakened in the wake of the Fed’s quite dovish policy statement.

Meanwhile, platinum managed to leapt 1% being worth $931.80, palladium soared 0.5% trading at $867.05 an ounce.
