U.S. stocks and oil prices turned lower on Friday on resurgent worries
following the recent rally in the face of economic data that still show a mixed

The U.S. dollar and yen rose as worries persisted about global prospects
despite better-than-expected U.S. economic news, prompting investors to seek

Gold climbed to a six-week high after data showed U.S. core inflation rose
more than expected in April, boosting the precious metal's appeal as a hedge
against rising prices.
