AF: Silver fixes almost unchanged, gold edges higher
* Silver fixes at 1,850.00 cents an ounce, versus 1,851.00
cents an ounce at the previous fix.
* Spot silver XAG= last bid at $18.45 an ounce, against
$18.40 in late trade in New York on Wednesday, in line with a
firmer gold price.
* Forward rates on Reuters page SIFO indicated at 0.69, 0.72,
0.75, 0.80 and 0.82 percent for one, two, three, six and twelve
months, respectively.
* Gold rises as nervousness over Spain's fiscal problems and
the wider impact of the euro zone debt crisis continue to
undermine investor confidence. European equities and the euro
are up after a successful Spanish debt auction.
* Gold XAU= last at $1,235.75 an ounce, up from $1,229.60 an
ounce in New York on Wednesday.
* Platinum XPT= edges higher, partly reversing Wednesday's
modest decline, to be last indicated at $1,569.00 an ounce, up
from $1,566.50, while palladium XPD= is down in sympathy with
the weakness in the base metals, bid at $470.00 versus $471.00.
