Precious metals futures rallied Friday on fund buying after the dollar reached two-year lows. Gold has been drawing buying interest since spot metal broke through resistance around $666 earlier this spring. Copper rose, helped by inventory drawdowns and early concerns about potential labor situations. Crude oil futures ended modestly lower after the reported restart of part of a key Texas refinery brought some relief to a jittery energy market.
