Gold Advances Toward $4,100 as Investors Turn Focus to Upcoming U.S. Data

​Gold prices ended Friday’s session with solid gains, recovering from recent fluctuations and moving back toward the $4,100-per-ounce level, as investors positioned themselves ahead of a fresh round of U.S. economic data that could shape expectations for Federal Reserve policy.

Spot gold (XAU/USD) settled at $4,089.26 per ounce, up $61.70, or 1.53%, compared with the previous session.
The advance narrowed the gap to the $4,100 mark, a price level that many traders are watching closely after gold’s recent period of heightened volatility.

Rally Builds Throughout the Session

Trading began at $4,027.57 per ounce before prices briefly slipped to an intraday low of $3,982.83.
Buying momentum strengthened later in the session, lifting gold to a high of $4,097.94, just a few dollars below the next major psychological milestone.
The rebound suggests that investor demand for the precious metal remains resilient, even after recent swings across global financial markets.​​
