On Friday gold was fluctuating near the level just below $1,000. Worries about the global economy and the sustainability of this summer's stock market gains have pushed bullion, traditionally a port during economic storms, up about 5 percent over the past two days to a six-month high on Thursday.

Spot gold was essentially unchanged at $990.05 by 0138 GMT after touching a peak of $997.20 on Thursday.

While miserable improvements in the economy haven’t influenced unemployment statistics in any way the reports show that employment market is going to be a profitable for investors.

On Tuesday Visa Inc reported that according to the latest researches nearly 62% of Mexicans used a debit card last year. Visa polled 1,009 adults from different social classes between 18 and 64 years of age in the cities of Guadalajara, Monterrey and Mexico City.

US government report released Friday showed that American employers cut 345,000 jobs last month, the fewest since September and far less than forecast which is considered as additional evidence the economy's severe weakness was diminishing.

Still, the unemployment rate reached 9.4% the highest since a matching rate in July 1983, from 8.9% in April, according to the Labor Department report.
