Wall St set to open higher after turbulent week, gold stocks up as prices hit $3,000

U.S. stocks were on track for a higher open on Friday following a week-long selloff triggered by fears of a growth slowdown due to the Trump administration’s erratic trade policies, while gold stocks rose as the precious metal breached the $3,000 level. The global financial landscape witnessed volatility through the week, with the S&P 500 plunging into correction territory, losing $4 trillion. The tech-laden Nasdaq had entered correction territory the previous week.
