Rampant currency printing stokes fears of inflationary pressure which in turn pushes up the demand for safe haven bets such as gold.<\/p>\n<p>At last check, U.S. gold futures for June delivery leaped 1.77% to $1,579.90 an ounce while spot gold climbed 1.73% to $1,579.57.

Earlier during the week, the Automatic Data Processing\u2019s (ADP) private sector job data and Labor Department\u2019s weekly first time jobless claims data also indicated that the U.S. labor market is stagnating.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The data took everybody by surprise and gold jumped on that number and that tells us the economy is still pretty soft, suggesting that the Fed will continue with its bond buying program as scheduled,&#8221; said ,Societe Generale analyst Robin Bhar in a not, according to Reuters.<\/p>\n<p>The dollar also weakened against most major traded currencies on Friday, making dollar dominated commodities cheaper for dealers trading in currencies other than the U.S. dollar.<\/p>\n<p>In some other precious metal markets, <a href=\"https:\/\/stockmarketwatch.com\/metal\/silver-price.aspx\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"5\" title=\"silver price today\">silver<\/a> futures gained 1.82% to $27.26 an ounce.\u00a0 Platinum futures climbed 1.38% to $1,538.80 an ounce while palladium futures inched up 0.08% to $726 an ounce.<\/p>\n<div class=\"nr_clear\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"nrelate_popular_2\" class=\"nrelate nrelate_popular nrelate_default nr_1col nr_text\"><\/div>\n<p>\t<!--[if IE 6]>\n\t\t<script type=\"text\/javascript\">jQuery('.nrelate_default').removeClass('nrelate_default');<\/script>\n\t<![endif]--><\/p>\n<p>\t<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n\t\/* <![CDATA[ *\/\n\t\tnRelate.domain = \"www2.thestockmarketwatch.com%2Fstock-market-news\";\n\t\tvar entity_decoded_nr_mp_url = jQuery('<span\/>').html(\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20130407043602\/http:\/\/api.nrelate.com\/mpw_wp\/0.51.4\/?tag=nrelate_popular&domain=www2.thestockmarketwatch.com%2Fstock-market-news&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww2.thestockmarketwatch.com%2Fstock-market-news%2Fgold-prices-bounce-back-after-non-farm-payrolls-data-silver-prices-rise-sharply%2F43202&nr_div_number=2&maxageposts=7200&increment=1\").text();\n\t\tnRelate.getNrelatePosts(entity_decoded_nr_mp_url);\n\t\/* ]]&gt;
