Gold Rises for Fourth Week in a Row
Gold prices rose for the fourth week in a row after US jobs data dampened expectations
New York - QNA
Gold prices rose for the fourth week in a row after US jobs data dampened expectations that the US Federal Reserve will raise interest rates, but the metal gave up most gains as the dollar rose and safe haven demand ebbed.
For the week, spot gold XAU= rose 0.5% to close at $1,257.30 an ounce, touching its highest since November 10 at $1,270.46, putting it on track for a fourth consecutive week of gains.
US gold futures GCcv1 climbed 0.3% to settle at $1,257.30 an ounce.
Data showed that US employers added the fewest number of workers in 10 months in March, boosting gold, which is most attractive to investors in a low interest rate environment.
Meanwhile, the dollar index, which tracks the performance of the greenback against a basket of six major currencies, rose 101.1 points.

To 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Muslimchronicle
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations. It includes the dress worn by supermodel Naomi Campbell, his longtime friend and muse, when she led his
