Gold set for sixth successive weekly gain; US jobs data in focus




Gold prices steadied on Friday near record-high levels, and were headed to log their sixth successive weekly gain, as trade war jitters lifted safe-haven demand, while investors awaited the non-farm payrolls data for cues on the U.S. economic health.

Spot gold was up 0.1% at $2,859.59 per ounce, as of 0038 GMT, and has gained more than 2% so far this week. Bullion hit an all-time high at $2,882.16 earlier this week.
