Gold set for fourth week of gains amid Trump policy jitters

economictimes.indiatimes.com:

Gold prices edged higher and were on track for a fourth straight weekly gain on Friday, as uncertainty about U.S. President Donald Trump's trade plans took wind out of the dollar's sail, boosting demand for the safe-haven asset.

FUNDAMENTALS

* Spot gold edged up 0.2% to $2,760.40 per ounce, as of 0044 GMT and gained over 2% so far this week. U.S. gold futures added 0.1% to $2,767.60.

* The dollar was lower on Thursday in a choppy session, after comments from Trump called for an immediate drop in interest rates while providing no clarity on tariffs, while investors awaited a round of policy announcements from global central banks.

* The Bank of Japan is widely expected to raise interest rates at the end of a two-day meeting on Friday. Rate decisions from the U.S. Federal Reserve and European Central Bank (ECB) are scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday of next week, respectively.
