Gold on track for weekly gain as investors await US jobs data
13:09:01.0 Gold held above $1,400 an ounce on Friday, on track for its third straight weekly gain, as investors awaited US jobs data for clues on when the Federal Reserve would start tapering off its stimulus programme.
Gold extended gains after a falling US dollar encouraged funds and investors to shift some money back into the precious metal after last week's heavy sell-down.
