NEW YORK (TheStreet) —
It was a fairly quiet trading day from a price perspective in the Far East on their Friday.  The price developed a negative bias right out of the gate, with the low coming at 1 p.m. in Hong Kong trading.  The tiny rally after that made it back above the Thursday close in New York by a few dollars around 8:30 a.m. in London—and then it was down hill until 12:30 BST.  The price chopped sideways into the London p.m. “fix”—and once that was out of the way, the HFT boyz spun their algorithms.  The absolute low tick came minutes before 1 p.m. EDT—and the gold price crawled higher from there into the 5:15 p.m. close of electronic trading.

The high and low ticks were recorded by the CME Group as $1,195.40 and $1,174.10 in the June contract.
