GOLD prices climbed on Thursday, as risks of a widening Middle East conflict raised bullion's safe-haven appeal, overshadowing pressures from prospects of higher-for-longer U.S. interest rates.
Spot gold was up 0.8% at $2,379.21 per ounce, as of 0713 GMT, after hitting an all-time high of $2,431.29 last Friday. U.S. gold futures edged 0.2% higher to $2,394.10.
Uh-oh! Daily quota reached.
