Gold prices rose to a two-and-half-month high on Friday and were on track for their best week in six months, boosted by a weaker dollar and a pullback in Treasury yields as investors cautiously await U.S. non-farm payrolls report due later in the day.

Spot gold was up 0.2% at US$1,818.73 per ounce by 0652 GMT, after hitting its highest since 16 February earlier in the session. Bullion gained nearly 3% so far this week.

U.S. gold futures rose 0.2% to $1,818.80.

“The weaker dollar and U.S. Treasury yields dropping below 1.6% has helped gold prices to go above US$1,800,” Brian Lan, managing director at dealer GoldSilver Central said.

“The U.S. jobs data is very important point … if data comes out really good, we can see people being more positive on the economy and it might lead to Federal Reserve increasing the interest rates earlier than expected, which will impact gold.”

The dollar index slipped to a one-week low against its rival, while benchmark U.S. 10-year Treasury yields hovered close to a two-week low.

Market participants await U.S. monthly jobs report due at 08:30 a.m. EST. Economists expect 978,000 new U.S. jobs for April, according to a Reuters poll.
