Gold futures lost steam to finish lower on Friday, giving up earlier gains as prices took a break from a two-session rally that lifted prices to their highest levels in more than six years. "Some of the hot money driving prices higher in futures and options has clearly closed out the week by taking profit," said Adrian Ash, director of research at BullionVault. "Big picture, the switch to weaker interest rates and new stimulus looks set to keep gold on the boil." August gold declined by $1.40, or 0.1%, to settle at $1,426.70 on Comex. It tallied a weekly rise of 1%. It had settled at $1,428.10 on Thursday, the highest finish for a most-active contract since mid-May 2013, according to FactSet data.
