Gold Settles Lower, But Gains 1.5% For The Week

Gold futures settled lower on Friday, pulling back after gains over the past seven sessions in a row. But prices still tallied a climb of about 1.5% for the week ahead of next week's U.K. referendum on whether to leave or stay in the European Union. August gold settled at $1,294.80 an ounce, down $3.60, or 0.3%, for the session.
