COMMODITIES
GOLD
NEW YORK/LONDON - Gold rose to a three-month high in volatile trade on Friday, as a mixed U.S. jobs report prompted investors to reassess the outlook for U.S. interest rates this year, putting bullion on track for its strongest weekly performance in more than a year.
Spot gold XAU= initially rose after the jobs report but then fell to a session low of $1,144.96 an ounce as some focused on the rise in average hourly earnings, which may have revived the prospect of rate hikes.
By 3:11 p.m. EST (2011 GMT) it rose to a new high at $1,165.50, up 0.8 percent and the highest since Oct. 28.
U.S. gold futures for April GCJ6 settled up 20 cents at $1,157.70 an ounce.
