    The rally was helped by a sagging U.S. dollar, climbing crude oil prices, as well as speculative and chart-based buying. December gold rose above the peak of $632.20 an ounce on Monday and eventually hit a high of $637 an ounce Thursday, while December silver took out the peak of $12.80 on Monday and traded as high as $13.09. In energy trading, crude futures advanced to a two-week settlement high after European inventories fell going into the Northern Hemisphere winter.

At the New York Board of Trade, futures on raw sugar in foreign ports hurried to three-week highs with help from fund buying and short covering.
