Gold prices edged up on Wednesday as the US dollar pulled back and the U.S. Treasury yields traded lower, while the outlook of a massive U.S. fiscal stimulus further boosted the metal's appeal as an inflation hedge, Reuters reports.
Spot gold added 0.2 percent at US$1,858.56 per ounce, while U.S. gold futures gained by 0.9 percent to US$1,860.10.
The benchmark 10-year Treasury yield fell from 10-month highs, dragging the dollar lower and making gold cheaper for other unit holders.
