KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 7 (Bernama) -- The gold futures contract on Bursa Malaysia Derivatives ended lower on Friday despite the positive momentum in the US COMEX gold market.

Meanwhile, the February 2026, April 2026 and June 2026 contracts all settled lower at US$4,074.50 per troy ounce from US$4,076.80 previously.

Trading volume improved to 39 lots from 31 on Thursday, while open interest eased to 132 contracts from 138 previously.

The physical gold was priced at US$3,986.50 per troy ounce, according to the London Bullion Market Association afternoon fix on Nov 6, 2025.
