Both precious metals rose to close out the week, extending a recovery built on a friendlier view of interest rates. Gold snapped a long losing streak of weeks, and silver led the way with a much larger gain.
The driver sat outside the metals themselves. A weak jobs report reshaped what investors expect from the Federal Reserve, and precious metals were among the clearest winners.
Gold rose about 1.25 percent to roughly 4,182 dollars an ounce on Friday, a gain of some 52 dollars. Silver climbed further, up about 2.48 percent to around 62.86 dollars.
