Gold prices rose on Thursday, hovering near a record high scaled in the previous session, as rising anticipation of a U.S. interest rate cut in September lifted demand for non-yielding bullion.
Spot gold was up 0.5% at $2,470.62 per ounce, as of 0641 GMT. Prices hit an all-time high of $2,483.60 on Wednesday. U.S. gold futures also climbed 0.5% to $2,473.10, Reuters reported.
Spot silver rose 0.6% to $30.49 per ounce, platinum firmed 0.4% at $998.50 and palladium gained 0.8% to $959.56.
