    Commodities futures advanced in a broad rally on Friday as industrial metals gained on dwindling inventories, while worries over energy supplies saw crude oil and gasoline prices end higher. A 3% increase in copper prices boosted other industrial metals including nickel, zinc and aluminum on the LME. Lead recorded the sharpest percentage gain, advancing nearly 5%. In the precious metals market, gold rose, reacting to higher oil prices and a weaker U.S. dollar.
