Gold prices hit two-week highs on Monday, climbing more than 1% on renewed buying of the metal by China's central bank following a six-month hiatus, with bullishness increased by anticipation of a U.S. Federal Reserve interest rate cut next week.
Spot gold gained 1.1% to $2,662.98 per ounce, as of 01:41 p.m. ET (1841 GMT). U.S. gold futures settled 1% higher at $2,685.50.
The resumption of Chinese buying may support investor demand in the country. In 2023, China was the world's largest official sector buyer of gold, but the PBOC paused its 18-month buying streak in May.
Spot silver added 3% to $31.90 per ounce, platinum rose 1.5% to $943.85 and palladium jumped 2.2% to $977.15.
