Gold future rises amid softer dollars

fundamental analysis top header -01

 

Gold edged higher on Friday, poised for a second weekly gain, as a weaker dollar provided some relief from rising U.S. bond yields and anticipation that central banks will begin to ease economic assistance. Bullion prices were on their way to a second week of increases, helped by a weaker dollar that was expected to fall this week. Bullion prices have been trading in a wide range of $1,749 to $1,800 so far this month, with the upside limited by a strong rise in U.S. benchmark 10-year Treasury yields.
