According to the recent U.S jobless claims update, initial claims declined last week 23k to 393k. Further, the recent U.S GDP estimate for the third quarter was high than the preliminary estimate: GDP grew by 2.7%.

On today’s agenda: KOF Economic Barometer, German Retail Sales, Euro Area unemployment rate, Canada’s GDP, U.S Personal Spending and China Manufacturing PMI.
On Thursday, gold price bounced back by 0.62% to $1,727.2; Silver price also increased by 1.97% to $34.35. During the month, gold edged up by 0.47%; silver rose by 6.29%.
