Gold prices moved to the downside during trading on Friday, extending the modest pullback seen in the previous session.

After slipping $9.60 or 0.5 percent to $2,083.50 an ounce during Thursday's session, gold for February delivery fell $11.70 or 0.6 percent to $2,071.80 an ounce.

With the decrease, the price of gold continued to give back ground after reaching a six-month closing high on Wednesday.
