SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Crude-oil and gold futures added to gains on Thursday following details of European Central Bank president Mario Draghi's plan to buy bonds from beleaguered euro-zone nations. Oil for October delivery CLV2 +1.63% rose $1.69, or 1.7%, to $96.97 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Gold for December delivery GCZ2 +0.63% advanced $11.70, or 0.7%, to $1,705.90 an ounce on the Comex division of the Nymex. Draghi said the ECB would launch an "outright monetary transaction" program in the secondary market to counter what he said were investors "unfounded fears" about the euro.
