(Kitco News) – The gold market is continuing to build on its strong gains ahead of the weekend after the latest data showed consumer sentiment in the U.S. improving, even as longer-term inflation expectations ticked higher once again.The University of Michigan announced on Friday that the preliminary reading of its Consumer Sentiment survey for February was 57.3. The data was better than expectations, as the consensus forecast of economists called for a reading of 55, and it was also above January’s final reading of 56.4.
