Gold edges up on Fed policy
On Thursday, market participants took advantage of more confusion regarding Fed policy on rates and also took the precious commodity higher in Asia, following minutes issued overnight, which casts some doubt on a third lift in 2017.
December delivery gold futures headed north 0.80% in New York reaching $1,293.21 a troy ounce.
