Gold prices rose to their highest in more than a month on Thursday after European leaders agreed on a plan to contain the region's debt crisis, lifting sentiment in the financial markets. Gold rose in tandem with other commodities and equities, with cash prices up half a percent to a one-month high of $1,728.11 an ounce, before easing to $1,722.69 by 0623 GMT, on course for its fifth straight session of gains.
US gold futures, which also hit a one-month high of $1,729.8, traded nearly flat at $1,724.20.
