   LONDON: Gold prices soared Thursday to the highest level in almost seven weeks as the dollar weakened after the U. S. Federal Reserve vowed to keep interest rates near zero for more than 2 years.
   The precious metal rose up to $1,720. 35 an ounce on the London Bullion Market—the highest level since December 9 but still far below the record peak of $1, 921. 15 struck on September 6.
   "With the U. S. Federal pledging to keep interest rates in check until late 2014, gold soared," said Rose Norman, boss of British-based bullion broker Shaip Pixley. " Although there was heavy speculative buying, anxious investors joined the fray who are concerned by currency depreciation as global central banks use easy monetary policies to flood markets with cash.

   Helsinki: Mobile phone maker Nokia Corp posted a fourth-quarter net loss of 1. 70 billion euro ($1. 38 bn) as sales slumped 21% even as the company’s first Window smartphones hit markets in Europe and Asia. The loss compares with a profit of 745 million euro in the same period a year earlier.
   Nokia said net revenue, including both its mobile phones and its network divisions, fell from 12. 6 billion euro in the Q4 of 2010 to 10 billion, with smartphones plunging 23%.

Nokia is attempting a comeback with phones using Microsoft’s Window software, a struggle that CEO Stephen Elop characterized as " war of eco-systems. "
