GOLD rose on Friday and headed for its best week in three months, supported by growing expectations of an interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve this month, as attention turns to the U.S. non-farm payrolls data due later in the day.
Spot gold was up 0.2% at $3,552.71 per ounce, as of 0640 GMT, hovering near an all-time high of $3,578.50 touched on Wednesday. Bullion has risen 3.1% so far this week.
