Business
Gold prices got a boost this Wednesday after US President Donald Trump said he would indefinitely extend the cease-fire with Iran.
Spot gold climbed 0.6% to $4,739.94 per ounce, bouncing back from the previous session's dip.
The move also pushed oil prices down and gave stocks a little lift, thanks in part to a softer US dollar.
