Gold prices traded higher by 2.18% against the USD in the 24 hour period ending 23:00GMT, at 1264.10 per ounce, amid a broad weakness in the US Dollar led by lacklustre economic domestic data. Positive sentiment for the yellow metal was also fuelled after media reports highlighted the possibility for the Indian government to relax duty on gold imports to India, one of the world’s largest importers of gold.
