On Friday, gold headed south. The yellow metal found itself on track to report its greatest weekly ascend since August after market turmoil, which sent equities reeling and put pressure on Treasury yields as well as the evergreen buck.
On the Comex exchange, February delivery gold futures GCG9 rallied by 0.2% being worth $1,246.10 an ounce. March delivery silver futures SIH9 managed to head north by 0.2% ending up with $14.545 an ounce. For the week, the yellow metal surged by 1.6% that would be the most impressive such gain since a 2.5% leap by August 24. The yellow metal is trading near a five-month maximum, trimming its year-to-date tumble to 4.8%.
