A lower U.S. dollar together with a thwarted terrorist plot in Saudi Arabia boosted the price of crude and metals on Friday. The terrorist plot was aimed at Saudi oil fields, as officials reported that 172 militants have been arrested. Police stated that one terror cell had planned to carry out suicide attacks against public figures, oil facilities and the military. All precious metals advanced, with only platinum bucking the trend, finishing lower.
