    Gold futures climbed Friday to close at their loftiest level in seven sessions, ending the week more than 3% higher as traders scrambled to make their moves ahead of a three-day holiday weekend. A higher dollar and lower euro currency have been putting on pressure for quite a while, and that has lifted today, with the dollar correcting down. Platinum and palladium also advanced, together with silver futures.
