Gold prices jumped to a two-week high on Thursday, after a record surge in U.S. jobless claims dented the dollar and boosted expectations of further stimulus to cushion the global economic toll from the coronavirus pandemic.

Spot gold rose 0.7% to $1,624.46 per ounce as of 15:52 GMT.

As far as Platinum is concerned, it slipped 0.3% to $735.95, while silver was flat at $14.43.
