World gold prices edged higher on 10/04 as the U.S. dollar weakened following a two-day ceasefire between the United States and Iran, supporting demand for the metal. Spot gold rose 0.3% to $4,778.89 per ounce on 20 April, extending weekly gains to over 2%. U.S. gold futures fell 0.3% to $4,804.00/oz.

In other metals, silver rose 1.7% to $76.34/oz, while platinum fell 2.5% to $2,050.99/oz and palladium fell 2.5% to $1,518.66/oz. All three metals are on track for weekly gains.
