Palladium futures rose $15.70 to close at $2,408.10 per ounce, up 0.7%.
Gold contracts received a boost after the Fed announced at its annual meeting on Friday that it would postpone the start of taper to a later date. In addition, it was already announced that the tapering does not have to mean a change in interest rate policy.
Moreover, the gold price was supported by the weaker dollar, which made gold contracts cheaper and increased the attraction for investors holding other currencies.
The dollar moving index against the six major currencies in the basket fell 0.39% to 92.6893.
However, gold contracts continue to gain importance as a safe haven asset.
