Gold prices rose on Friday and were on track for a third straight weekly gain, as investors closely watched further developments in trade talks between the United States and China.

Gold hit $3,500 an ounce on Tuesday on concerns about the U.S. economy, but prices fell below $3,300 a day later after U.S. President Donald Trump backed off his threat to fire the Federal Reserve chairman and appeared to soften his stance on China.

Fed officials said they do not see a need to change monetary policy as they seek more information to determine how the Trump administration’s tariffs are affecting the economy.
