Gold prices slip

Gold prices slipped on Friday and were on track for a second ‌consecutive weekly decline, pressured by a stronger dollar and inflation worries driven by the Iran war, which weighed on rate‑cut expectations.

Spot gold fell 0.5 percent to $5,052.15 per ounce, by 1:44 p.m. ET (1744 GMT), ​and was down over 2 percent for the week so far.

US gold futures for ​April delivery settled 1.3 percent lower at $5,061.70.
