Gold, platinum rise to highest since mid-November MyZA

LONDON Feb 3 (Reuters) – Gold and platinum prices
rose to their highest in 11 weeks on Friday as a brief uptick in
the euro boosted interest in precious metals ahead of key U.S.
non-farm payrolls data due later in the day.

Spot gold was up 0.1 percent at $1,760.44 an ounce at
0909 GMT, having earlier risen to a session high at $1,762.40 an
ounce, its strongest since Nov. 17.

Platinum touched a high of $1,631.50, and was later
at $1,627.38, little changed from the previous session.
