VGZ Vista Gold Corp

Gold prices posted the biggest one-day rise so far this month on Friday, reflecting higher oil prices and a sharp fall in the dollar as a result of disappointing U.S. housing market data. Another contributing factor was jewelry shops in India, the world's largest buyer, ending a five-day shutdown Thursday.

"We will see a rise in demand in the short term because of India coming back to the market," said Frank McGhee, the head dealer at Integrated Brokerage Services LLC in Chicago. "Bernanke's statements were gold friendly."
