**[Dollar Strengthens, Oil Prices Rise, Gold Prices Set to Record Weekly Decline]** BlockBeats News, March 13: On Friday, New York gold futures fell below $5,100 per ounce, setting the stage for a weekly decline. The strengthening dollar, rising oil prices, and uncertainty surrounding Federal Reserve policies have put pressure on gold prices. Analysts at ANZ Bank stated: "The dollar is strengthening due to its safe-haven status, especially as rising oil prices benefit the U.S., a net energy exporter. Concerns over the Federal Reserve's rate-cut trajectory are intensifying, and higher oil prices increase the likelihood of inflationary pressures resurfacing." (Jin10)
