LONDON May 4 (Reuters) – Gold prices jumped to session
highs at $1,640.99 an ounce on Friday after U.S. non-farm
payrolls data fell short of expectations, hurting the dollar and
boosting speculation that the Federal Reserve may implement more
quantitative easing.
Spot gold was up 0.1 percent at $1,637.90 an ounce at
1236 GMT.
