Gold crept higher on Friday as investors opted for the safe haven qualities of bullion due to uncertainty about U.S. and European politics as well as the direction of stock markets.
…”Gold is close to its recent multi-month high despite the strong dollar, due to an increase in volatility on the equity markets and more uneasiness on the political front, which is supporting the search for safe-haven assets,” said Eugen Weinberg, head of commodity research at Commerzbank.
