Gold edges higher as dollar slips and Treasury yields fall

Gold prices rose slightly on Friday as the dollar weakened and Treasury yields fell, though bullion remained on track for a weekly decline.

• Spot gold rose 0.2 percent to $4,177.82 an ounce, with the dollar headed for its first weekly loss in five weeks.
• US Treasury yields fell 12 to 15 basis points across maturities, supporting the metal that pays no income.
• US producer prices rose last month at the fastest pace in four and a half years, following accelerating September consumer inflation.
• Chicago Fed President Austan Goolsbee said inflation data that came in stronger than expected this week was "disappointing."
