Gold prices continued to rise on Friday even as stronger-than-expected US jobs data reinforced expectations that the Federal Reserve may not cut interest rates aggressively this year. Uncertainty over the policies of the incoming Trump administration continued to boost the appeal of safe-haven assets.
Gold prices briefly dipped to $2,663.09 an ounce after data showed the US added 256,000 jobs last month, compared with economists' forecasts of 160,000. The unemployment rate was at 4.1%, compared with estimates of 4.2%.
However, bullion prices quickly rose and hit their highest level since Dec. 12, poised for a weekly gain of more than 2%.
