The dollar index fell to a four-week low which boosted buying in the yellow metal."
Navneet Damani, vice-president (commodities research) of Motilal Oswal Financial Services, said, "Gold prices traded higher and are set for their biggest weekly gain in more than two months, as the US Fed governor struck a dovish tone and put cold water on the fears regarding a rate hike and early tapering, hence boosting the safe-haven appeal."
