With expectations that the US Federal Reserve will not raise interest rates and lower dollar prices, precious metal prices rose Tuesday as gold approached a five-month high in a previous session.
Spot gold was $ 1247.92, an increase of 0.3 percent, while in US futures it rose to $ 1252.6 an ounce.
Meanwhile, the dollar index, which measures the performance of the greenback against a basket of six major currencies, is down after rising in the previous session with a postponement of a vote on Britain's exit agreement from the European Union, Reuters reported.
Investors are waiting for the US Central Bank meeting on December 18 and 19 on the interest rate and whether to keep it or raise it.
Among other precious metals, silver rose 0.5 percent to $ 14.59 an ounce. Palladium rose 0.9 percent to $ 1229 an ounce.
Platinum fell 0.7 percent to 780.1 an ounce.
Prices have fallen to their lowest level since September 10, at $ 773.50 an ounce in the previous session.
