Global gold prices were at $2,678.58 an ounce, up 0.17 percent at 9:10 a.m. (UAE time).

Dilin Wu, research strategist at Pepperstone, said gold investors are gaining strength. Gold prices hit all-time highs in most G-10 currencies and are just below historic highs against the US dollar. This increase reflects real gold demand rather than just currency dynamics. I think the $2,700 level can be achieved before the end of October.

Uncertainty in the US economy is driving gold prices higher. Initial jobless claims were higher than expected and Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller warned that hurricanes and strikes could reduce October nonfarm payrolls by nearly a million, raising the risk of a future Fed rate hike.
