Global prices went up by 0.9 percent on Wednesday to $1,857.86 per ounce, or close to a nine-year high, after European Union leaders on Tuesday sealed a 750-billion-euro recovery plan and the U.S. administration and opposition Democrats discussed a next round of relief that would include extended unemployment insurance.
