Gold prices edged up on Friday, supported by a weaker dollar amid worries about a possible U.S. government shutdown, but the precious metal was still on track for its first weekly drop in six weeks.

Spot gold was up 0.3 percent at $1,331.10 an ounce by 0324 GMT. Gold on Thursday touched its weakest level since Jan. 12 at $1,323.70, having fallen from recent four-month highs.

Oil prices fell on Friday on a bounce-back in U.S. production, but ongoing declines in crude inventories curbed losses in the market.

Brent crude futures were at $68.78 at 0128 GMT, down 53 cents, or 0.8 percent, from their last close. On Monday, they hit their highest since December, 2014 at $70.37 a barrel.
