Gold rises to one-week high, heads for weekly gain on easing oil prices | Stock Market News
Gold rose to a one-week high on Friday, its first weekly gain in four, as softer oil prices eased inflation worries. Spot gold gained 1.2% to $4,390.11 an ounce. Higher US interest rates, now 3.75%-4%, and a strong dollar can still cap gains. Indian buyers held back, waiting for lower prices. If you plan to buy gold, stagger purchases instead of timing the market.
Key Statutory Highlights

Actionable Advice for Taxpayers / Founders:If you are planning a gold purchase, consider buying in small parts over time rather than waiting to catch the lowest price, since rates and the dollar can move either way.
