GOLD prices rose on Friday, on track for their fifth weekly gain, with investors gravitating towards safe-haven assets as political uncertainty in the Middle East overshadowed pressures from the prospect of higher-for-longer US interest rates.

Spot gold was up 0.4 per cent at US$2,388.49 per ounce, as of 0111 GMT. US gold futures edged 0.2 per cent higher to US$2,403.30 per ounce. Bullion rose 3 per cent so far this week.

The US announced new sanctions on Iran, targeting its unmanned aerial vehicle production after its attack on Israel.

Atlanta Federal Reserve Bank President Raphael Bostic said that if inflation progress stalls, central bankers would need to consider an interest rate hike.
