Line chart showing gold spot price climbing 2.5 percent to $4,587 an ounce over three weeks.

Gold closed near $4,587 an ounce Friday, up 2.50 percent and marking a third straight weekly gain, after a US Treasury buyback announcement earlier in the week failed to hold down long-term bond yields. TSX materials shares rose alongside bullion to a five-month high, with financials joining the advance rather than dragging against it, a shift from the divergence seen in the sector a day earlier.
