Gold futures finish higher on softer dollar

Gold futures finished higher on Wednesday, kindled by the softer dollar and declining bond yield notes. Additionally, higher inflation rates and delayed labor data with the continued US government shutdown also buoyed investment appeal of the bullion.

Gold futures for December delivery up by $32.40 or 0.81% to $3,992.90 per ounce on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile. While, spot gold added by $7.27 points or 0.18% to $3,986.84 ounce.
