Gold prices settled higher Thursday for the first time in four sessions, with weakness in the dollar and a decline in U.S. equities buoyed the metal’s haven appeal to investors. The yellow metal also got a boost amid rising political drama in the eurozone.

December gold tacked on $7, or 0.6%, to settle at $1,290 an ounce.
