Gold slides, but scores best weekly gain in over 4 months

Gold futures settled lower on Friday for the first time in six sessions after a better-than-expected U.S. employment report buoyed the dollar and dulled some of the metal’s investment appeal.

For the week, however, gold scored a gain as investors viewed the metal as a safer investment against a backdrop of worries over China’s economy and a recent plunge in its stock market.

February gold GCG6, +0.84%  fell by $9.90, or 0.9%, to settle at $1,097.90 an ounce on Comex. The commodity saw a weekly climb of 3.6%, which was the largest since the week ended Aug. 21, 2015, according to FactSet data.
