Gold (XAU/USD) picks up fresh bids, as the safe-haven US dollar continues to grind lower amid a revival of hopes for some US stimulus spending. President Donald Trump and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi showed their readiness to offer support the airline relief bill after the former abruptly called off broader negotiations late Tuesday.
However, it remains to be seen if the metal can extend its uptick, as the risk-on rally in the global stocks could likely weigh negatively on the yieldless gold. Also, investors could turn cautious ahead of the US Weekly Jobless due later on Thursday.
