As the dollar fell against the Euro, so investors ran for the cover of gold, pushing prices on Friday back above the $900 an ounce level. It finally closed $906.60, up $14.10.

Other factors included inflationary concerns and Indian demand for the Akshaya Tritya festival, a time when more gold is bought to make jewellery.

At the same time, oil also rose, finishing just short of $50 a barrel on Friday, pushing through that on Monday.
