what happened
According to RTTNews, citing dpa-AFX, gold for December delivery was up $10.80, or 0.3%, at $4,180.90 an ounce on Friday. The metal had jumped 1.5% to $4,170.10 in the previous session.
Earlier in the day gold climbed to an intraday high of $4,220.40 an ounce before losing part of the gain. The metal is still on track to finish the week lower. The U.S. dollar index slipped 0.2%, giving the metal some support.
The Federal Reserve reported that US industrial production rose 0.7% in September after a revised 0.1% gain in August. Economists had expected a 0.4% increase against the originally reported unchanged reading for August.
why it matters
The stronger-than-expected industrial report points to resilience in the US economy, which can limit expectations for monetary easing and weigh on gold. The softer dollar offers offsetting support to the metal.
