Gold gains on Middle East tensions; palladium hits record high
Gold edged higher on Friday, heading for its first weekly rise in four, as investors focused on Middle East tensions while palladium hit a record peak on short supply. Spot gold was up 0.1% at $1,500.47 an ounce at 1314 GMT, up about 0.8% over the week. U.S. gold futures were steady at $1,506.70.
Adding to gold’s appeal, the United States said it was building a coalition to deter Iranian threats after last weekend’s attack on Saudi Arabian oil facilities. Another supportive factor was the Fed’s second interest rate cut this year, though the central bank gave mixed signals on future cuts.
Saudi Oil Outage Impact Not As Bad As Predicted
Oil prices have gyrated this week on conflicting reports and predictions regarding the restoration of operations at the damaged Abqaiq processing facility in Saudi Arabia. The largest disruption in oil market history led to a 15 percent price gain on Monday, but prices opened up sharply lower on Tuesday after Reuters reported that operations would resume much quicker than expected. The outage at Abqaiq is not just a problem because of the immediate impact on production, but also because it takes much of the world’s spare capacity offline.
