Gold jumps above $970/oz as dollar weakens

Precious metal climbs to firmest level since late February

Jan Harvey

LONDON — Reuters, Friday, May. 29, 2009 06:42AM EDT

Gold on Friday rallied through $970 (U.S.) an ounce for the first time since February in Europe as traders bought the metal as a hedge against weakness in the U.S. dollar.

Rising oil prices, reports of a pick-up in Middle Eastern demand, and firm buying in India, the world's biggest gold consumer, during the wedding season are also supporting prices, analysts said.

Spot gold was bid at $972.60 an ounce at 0923 GMT, against $958.80 an ounce late in New York on Thursday.
