Gold futures ended higher Friday, supported by overnight Asian buying and fresh investment interest after a downward correction Thursday. Platinum was perhaps the biggest advancer of the day in the precious metals market, with July platinum climbing on sustained anticipation of exchange-traded funds soon to be launched in Europe. In Nymex energy trading, crude oil futures expired Friday, surging sharply as traders covered oversold positions.
