SEPT 6 SATURDAY
December silver fell by 4.7% to $12.33 an ounce.
Gold futures fell Friday for a fifth session, extending the precious
metal's weekly losses to more than $30, as falling crude-oil
prices reduced gold's appeal as a hedge against inflation.
Falling crude-oil prices tend to ease inflation concerns and reduce
demand for gold as a hedge against rising prices.
After rising to the highest level this year against the euro in
the previous session, the dollar weakened Friday as government
data showed the U.S. unemployment rate soared to 6.1% in
August, the highest rate in nearly five years.
