Goalkeeper Eisa delivered a fantastic performance against Al Hilal to help Al Ain reach the final
The US dollar fell to a two-year low and was on course for its worst month in a decade, making bullion cheaper for investors holding other currencies.
Apart from US data showing the deepest economic contraction in at least 73 years in the second quarter, and a rise in unemployment benefits, the dollar was also hurt as President Donald Trump raised the idea of delaying the Nov. 3 presidential election.
"The weak Q2 GDP also underscores the point of a weak economy, and investors seeking refuge in gold," said National Australia Bank economist John Sharma.
A deterioration in the coronavirus situation, escalation in geopolitical tensions and further declines in the dollar could push gold above the $2,000 level, he added.
Gold has risen more than 10 per cent so far this month, its biggest monthly percentage gain since February 2016, having soared to an all-time high of $1,980.57 on Tuesday.
The jump took gains for the year to nearly 30 per cent, driven by a worsening pandemic and low interest rates globally amid widespread stimulus from central banks since the metal is considered a refuge against inflation and currency debasement.
"However, further gains are reliant on investor demand, with consumer demand showing no signs of recovery," ANZ analysts said in a note.
Among other metals, silver climbed 0.3 per cent to $23.62 an ounce, on course for its best month on record - up 30 per cent, with additional support coming from hopes for a revival in industrial activity.
Platinum rose 0.1 per cent to $903.87 and palladium gained 0.3 per cent to $2,090.01.
