The U.S jobless claims rose by 78k to reach 439k. This news may have contributed to the fall of gold and silver and other commodities and stock indexes. The Eurostat published yesterday that the Euro Area GDP edged down by 0.1% during the third quarter while the EU27 GDP rose by 0.1%. This news may have had a modest effect on the Euro.

The Euro/ USD increased again by 0.36% and reached on Thursday to 1.2782. Conversely, several other currencies such as Aussie dollar and Yen depreciated yesterday against the USD by 0.11%, 1.16%, respectively. This mixed trend might have contributed to the sharp changes in the prices of bullion during yesterday.
