Gold Futures Settle Lower For a Third Straight Week

Gold futures fell Friday, with prices settling at their lowest level since mid-March after a strong U.S. jobs report helped dull investment demand. Based on the most-active contracts, prices lost 1.8% for the week, their third weekly decline in a row. August gold fell $7.10, or 0.6%, to settle at $1,168.10 an ounce on Comex.
