(Kitco News) – Gold prices are solidly higher and hit a five-month high in early U.S. trading Friday. Safe-haven demand for the yellow metal is seen following U.S. missile strikes against Syria. Also, a very downbeat U.S. jobs report is supporting the precious metals markets. June Comex gold was last up $19.00 an ounce at $1,272.50. May Comex silver was last up $0.199 at $18.44 an ounce.
