Comex Gold jumped to two-week highs above $1,480 an ounce on Friday, heading for its
second straight weekly gain, as the dollar fell ahead of US nonfarm payrolls report, scheduled
for 1230 GMT.
Sentiment had improved after a cut in interest rates by the European Central Bank and the US
Federal Reserve's decision to stick to its stimulus programme.
Spot gold rose as much as 1.5 per cent to its highest level since April 15 at $1,485.86 an ounce. It
stood at $1,485.74 by 1029 GMT, still up 1.3 per cent. The metal broke strong chart resistance at
$1,480, which may trigger further short-term strength, traders said.
US gold for June delivery rose to a session high of $1,487.20 an ounce and was then at
$1,485.90, up 1.3 per cent.
"Gold gained some strength after the central banks' meetings and is now benefiting from the
weaker dollar," Danske Bank analyst Christin Tuxen said.
"A lower-than expected nonfarm payrolls reading may lead to speculation that the Fed may
have the exit from QE postponed further into the future, and that should be also a positive for
gold because it means that there is going to be a lot more liquidity around and maybe some
more dollar weakness."

following the European Central Bank's decision to cut interest rates.

and Brent North Sea crude for June delivery shed 16 cents to $102.69.
