Gold shines Traders are keeping an eye on gold, which reached a six-month high of $2,018 an ounce in the Asian session and consolidated above 2,000.
The growing belief that the US Federal Reserve is now done raising interest rates and the weakening of the dollar supported prices of the precious metal.

Gold's rise has found support primarily from the weakening dollar, which has fallen about 3% against a basket of other currencies this month.

“OPEC+ will need to show significant supply discipline, or at least such capacity, to ease concerns about a deep surplus in oil markets next year,” he added.
The uncertainty has erased crude oil's early gains, with Brent and WTI futures both falling at the moment.
