(Kitco News) - Gold and silver prices are moderately higher in early U.S. trading Friday. Some short covering in the futures market and some bargain hunting in the cash market are featured heading into the weekend. August gold futures were last up $9.30 at $1,785.70 and July Comex silver was last up $0.23 at $26.28 an ounce.

On tap this morning in the U.S. is the personal income and outlays report for May, which is seen down 2.7% from April. The PCE price indexes will be closely watched for their inflation implications, as it’s been said the Federal Reserve very closely follows those indexes. The PCE core price index is expected to come in up 3.4%, year-on-year versus a reading of up 3.1% in April.

Global stock markets were mostly higher overnight. The U.S. stock indexes are pointed toward modestly higher openings when the New York day session begins and are at or near their record highs. There remains little risk aversion in the global marketplace at present, amid a generally calm geopolitical environment. U.S. traders and investors are more upbeat Friday as President Biden on Thursday announced a bi-partisan infrastructure spending plan. However, the plan still faces hurdles before it becomes law.

Reports say Russia is considering levying $2.3 billion in export taxes for steel products, nickel, aluminum and copper. Russia is looking to protect its defense and construction industries from rising international commodity prices. Some analysts said the impact of the extra taxes may be to raise international metals prices still higher.

The key outside markets today see the U.S. dollar index slightly down. Nymex crude oil futures are a bit weaker and trading around $73.15 a barrel after hitting a 2.5-year high of $74.25 on Wednesday. The yield on the benchmark U.S. Treasury 10-year note is presently fetching 1.49%.

Other U.S. economic data due for release Friday includes the University of Michigan consumer sentiment survey.
