Gold prices traded higher by 0.37% against the USD in the 24 hour period ending 23:00GMT, at 1244.72 per ounce, amid a slightly weaker dollar. Positive sentiment for the yellow metal was also fuelled after data showed that China’s net gold imports from Hong Kong reached the second-highest level on record in October. However, lingering Fed tapering concerns capped precious metal gains.
