Internationally, gold rose nearly 1 percent in heavy trading on Friday, reclaiming early sharp losses, lifted by higher crude oil and US stock markets, following an encouraging US job report.
Initially, the heavy metal fell 1 per cent on news that US employers added more than 200,000 workers to their payroll for a third straight month in February and unemployment rate pinned at 8.3 per cent, the lowest level since February 2009, a sign of economic recovery.
The US Dollar Index, a gauge of six major currencies against the US dollar’s strength, rose 0.98 per cent yesterday. Despite a strengthened US dollar, the yellow metal made a U-turn after investors increased buying of gold.
Gold for immediate delivery rose as much as $14 an ounce, or 0.82 per cent, to close at $1,713.5 an ounce on the Kitco trading floor.
Gold futures for April delivery gained $12.8 an ounce, or 0.7 per cent, to close at $1,711.5 an ounce on the Comex in New York.
The euro exchange rate against the US dollar was above $1.31 a euro this morning.
