US gold prices jumped nearly 2 per cent on Friday, driven by a slide in US Treasury yields and broader financial markets as worries over a fallout in the banking sector eclipsed a strong US jobs report and drove safe-haven flows into bullion.
Spot gold was up 1.8 per cent at $1,863.46 per ounce by 2:26 p.m. ET (1926 GMT), its highest since Feb. 14. US gold futures also rose 1.8 per cent to settle at $1,867.20 per ounce.
US tech lender SVB's troubles rippled through global markets and hit banking stocks, shoring up interest in bullion often seen as a safe store of value during uncertain times.
"I think the main focal point is yields and with yields dropping today, that is a boost for the gold market," said David Meger, director of metals trading at High Ridge Futures.
