Strong U.S. employment data boosted the dollar, providing earlier pressure on gold which then limited the gains of the precious metal. But platinum made the biggest gains among the precious metals this week, advancing 12% from the closing level last Friday on speculation over the launch of a platinum-based exchange-traded fund. Silver reached a new eight-week high and copper also rose.
