Gold futures GCQ19, +0.16% settled at $1,346.10 an ounce on Friday, extending their streak of gains to an eighth straight session and up about 2.7% for the week. “When sentiment finally changes, gold could rocket from its currently well-established base to levels much higher than the prior highs established almost a decade ago,” Schiff says.
