Gold rallies on diving greenback after the Fed meeting
On Thursday, gold managed to ascend in the face of a moderate decline in the evergreen buck. However, the surge in prices for the number one precious metal is limited before Friday's report on employment in America that can provide a new impetus to the evergreen buck.
June delivery gold futures rallied 0.34% on the Comex exchange coming up with an outcome of $1310.20 a troy ounce.

Furthermore, silver futures gained 0.61% on the Comex exchange hitting $16.47 per troy ounce, while platinum tacked on by 0.75% being worth $900.50.
