# Dollar’s weakness boosts rally in commodities and currencies - Gulf Times

> Gold rose above $1900/oz and silver near $22.76/oz at the end of the week as a weaker dollar, US-China tensions and Covid-19 uncertainty supported safe-haven demand. WTI was about $41.34 and Brent about $43.34 per barrel, both still more than 30% lower year-to-date.
