LONDON Jan 26 (Reuters) – Gold rallied more than 1
percent to a session high at $1,729.50 an ounce on Thursday as
the euro extended gains against the dollar, with both assets
benefiting from a Federal Reserve pledge to keep U.S. interest
rates low for an extended period.
Spot gold was up 1 percent at $1,726.84 an ounce at
1402 GMT, having earlier hit its highest level in nearly seven
weeks.
