Gold up for the day, down for the week

FXStreet (Córdoba) - Gold advanced on Friday, reversing previous day’s decline, as another wave of risk aversion lifted the metal’s appeal as safe-haven.

Stocks fell sharply across the globe and oil hit fresh 12-year lows following a short-lived bounce the previous day.

Against this backdrop, the yellow metal gained 1.5% and to finish around $1,090 an ounce. For the week, however, the metal lost around 1% following volatile trading.

EUR/GBP posts eighth consecutive weekly gain

The euro finished the week among the top performers in the currency market boosted by risk aversion; the pound, on the other side, dropped sharply amid fears of Brexit and a slowdown in the UK economy.
