- Gold futures rose on Friday due to safe haven demand amid the accelerated spread of COVID-19, lower US equities, and a weaker US dollar.
- The Dow Jones fell 0.8% and the US Dollar Index fell 0.25%, both lending support to gold prices.
- Silver markets also rallied, piercing the $13 level and looking to build a base as the market has been oversold, though industrial demand for silver will be negatively impacted by the pandemic.
