Gold Pulls Back but Set for Biggest Weekly Gain Since 2008

Gold futures pulled back Friday, but remained on track for the biggest weekly rise in more than 11 years in a rebound fueled in part by a weaker U.S. dollar and concerns about disruptions in the physical market.

Gold for April delivery on Comex fell $33.30, or 2%, to $1.617.90 an ounce, while May silver dropped 22.6 cents, or 1.7%, to $14.45 an ounce. For the week, gold is up nearly 9%, which would mark the biggest weekly rise since December 2008, according to FactSet.

A retreat by the U.S. dollar Thursday after last week's surge was also a positive for gold. A weaker dollar can be supportive for commodities priced in the unit, making them cheaper to users of other currencies. After surging last week amid a global scramble for dollars, the greenback retreated this week, with the ICE U.S. Dollar Index off more than 3% for its biggest one-week drop since 2009.
