Gold closed at a new high for the fifth consecutive day from the weakening dollar and ongoing progress in the US$1-trillion US economic stimulus package. Also, the market gained positive sentiment from the Bank of England's move to maintain interest rate and the promise that the bank will not tighten monetary policy until inflation rate moves to their target.
