Gold had its largest weekly move to the upside since April 2016 (LBMA 3.4%, XAU 4.3%) continuing its move higher for a fifth straight week–this was likely driven by the US dollar falling sharply (-1.4%) and the price of gold breaking out of the key technical resistance level of $1,365 (discussed in depth on Friday).

Gold and Islamic finance
The Islamic finance market is now valued at more than US$2tn and growing at a rapid rate. The association between Islamic finance and gold dates back many centuries but, until recently, Islamic savers were unclear whether they could invest in gold products.
