US-Iran tensions continue to be a mainstay but in the absence of further developments, traders are not really doing all too much today. Gold prices continue to run up though, jumping above $4,300 in keeping with the technical breakout from Wednesday. Meanwhile, the dollar wasn't up to much as major currencies trade in a relatively narrow range ahead of the main event later today. In other markets, oil is down slightly in erasing earlier gains with WTI crude lower by 0.4% to $76.93. It's now down to the US jobs report to perhaps give traders something to work with before the weekend break.
