Gold Closes Lower to Narrow Weekly Rise

Gold futures front-month contracts for July delivery lost $13.90 or 0.76% today, but gained $4.50 over the course of the week, or 0.25%, to close at $1,814.50 per ounce.

Today’s decline came after a three-session rising streak.

Month-to-date, gold futures are up by about 2.47%.
