Besides, ambiguity surrounding the tapering of bond purchase program is also keeping investors at bay. <a href=\"https:\/\/thestockmarketwatch.com\/metal\/silver-price.aspx\">Silver prices<\/a>, meanwhile, edged higher in early trading on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"more-47480\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>At last check, gold futures for December delivery inched up 0.06% to $1,337.00 an ounce while spot gold edged up 0.26% to $1,336.51 an ounce.<\/p>\n<p>The SPDR Gold Trust (ETF) (<a href=\"https:\/\/thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock.aspx?stock=GLD\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NYSE: GLD<\/a>) added 0.25% in <a href=\"https:\/\/stockmarketwatch.com\/movers\/premarket\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Premarket Movers\">premarket<\/a> trading to $129.11.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/stockmarketwatch.com\/metal\/silver\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"5\" title=\"silver price today\">Silver<\/a> futures added 0.77% to $22.05 an ounce.<\/p>\n<p>The policy stalemate in Washington over debit-ceiling issue supported bullion\u2019s safe-haven appeal on Wednesday with gold futures jumping more than 1%. However, gains are likely to be capped as market participants believe that this is only politicking or a yearend drama and lawmakers will soon find a middle path.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking to Reuters, one Hong Kong based trader said, \u201cWe have seen this story play out before and essentially it becomes an exercise in politicking,&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;People are looking at it due to the lack of news elsewhere, added the precious metal trader.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier on Wednesday, Christin Tuxen, an analyst at Danske Bank, said that \u201cthe market has become so used to this discussion (debt-ceiling issue) coming up every time at the end of the year that is not a massive factor anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, investors will keep an eye on impending U.S. economic data releases, especially the non-farm payrolls report for September. The job numbers could provide a clue on whether the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.knowfinance.com\/federal-reserve-system-fed\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Federal Reserve<\/a> will be inclined to\u00a0 scale down its economic stimulating measures when it meets for next open market committee meeting (FOMC) on Oct. 29.-Oct 30.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"nr_popular_placeholder\" data-permalink=\"http:\/\/www2.thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/gold-prices-flat-silver-prices-gain-3\/47480\" data-title=\"Gold Prices Flat, Silver Prices Gain\"><\/div>\n<p><script id=\"mNCC\" language=\"javascript\">  medianet_width='600';  medianet_height= '250';  medianet_crid='814932888';  <\/script>  <script id=\"mNSC\" src=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20130929200043js_\/http:\/\/contextual.media.net\/nmedianet.js?cid=8CUT71M67\" language=\"javascript\"><\/script> <\/p>\n<p><!-- AddThis Button BEGIN --><\/p>\n<div class=\"addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style addthis_32x32_style\">\n<a class=\"addthis_button_preferred_1\"><\/a><br \/>\n<a class=\"addthis_button_preferred_2\"><\/a><br \/>\n<a class=\"addthis_button_preferred_3\"><\/a><br \/>\n<a class=\"addthis_button_preferred_4\"><\/a><br \/>\n<a class=\"addthis_button_compact\"><\/a><br \/>\n<a class=\"addthis_counter addthis_bubble_style\"><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">var addthis_config = {\"data_track_addressbar\":true};<\/script><br \/>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"http:\/\/s7.addthis.com\/js\/250\/addthis_widget.js#pubid=pennystocksfinder\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- AddThis Button END --><\/p>\n<p>More Posts by this author<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www2.thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/finish-line-reports-better-than-expected-q2-results-reiterates-full-year-outlook\/47552\"><br \/>\nFinish Line Reports Better-Than-Expected Q2 Results, Reiterates Full-Year Outlook<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www2.thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/azz-outlook-downbeat-miss-q2-expectations\/47550\"><br \/>\nAZZ Outlook Downbeat, Miss Q2 Expectations<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www2.thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/stocks-end-lower-22\/47545\"><br \/>\nStocks End Lower<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www2.thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/gold-prices-gain-about-1-as-wrangling-over-budget-keep-investors-edgy-silver-prices-also-gain\/47542\"><br \/>\nGold Prices Gain about 1% As Wrangling Over Budget Keep Investors Edgy; Silver Prices Also Gain<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www2.thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/stocks-in-red-territory-by-lunch-break\/47540\"><br \/>\nStocks in Red territory By Lunch Break<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www2.thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/forex-market-update-dollar-index-falls-sharply\/47521\"><br \/>\nForex Market Update: Dollar Index Falls Sharply<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www2.thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/stocks-edge-lower-in-early-trading-12\/47517\"><br \/>\nStocks Edge Lower in Early Trading<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr>\n<table style=\"border:none;margin:0;\">\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:5px;vertical-align:top;\" valign=\"top\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20130929200043im_\/http:\/\/www2.thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/userphoto\/5.jpg\" alt=\"edliston\" width=\"125\" height=\"125\" class=\"photo\"><\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:5px;vertical-align:top;\" valign=\"top\">\n<div style=\"font-size:11pt;\"><b>Post Written By: Ed Liston <\/b><\/div>\n<div style=\"font-size:10pt;\">\n<p>Ed Liston is a senior contributing editor at TheStockMarketWatch.com.
