Investing.com– Gold prices rose to a two-week high on Thursday as weaker-than-expected U.S. business activity data spurred bets that the Federal Reserve will have limited headroom to keep raising interest rates.<\/p>\n

Prices were up for a fifth straight session, recovering further from a five-month low hit earlier in August as the dollar and Treasury yields retreated from recent peaks. Spot gold also comfortably retook the key $1,900 an ounce level.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Copper benefits from weaker dollar, but soft PMIs weigh\u00a0<\/h2>\n

Among industrial metals, copper prices fell slightly on Thursday, with down 0.2% to $3.8040 a pound.<\/p>\n

Prices of the red metal rose sharply over the past two sessions, benefiting from a softer dollar and hopes of more stimulus measures in China.<\/p>\n
