Gold prices rose above $4,600 a troy ounce and are headed for a weekly gain of 4%, buoyed by concerns over the U.S. government debt and borrowing costs.

"Gold is on track for a third consecutive weekly gain," analysts at Saxo Bank said. "The ability of gold to rally alongside higher nominal yields highlights the growing importance of fiscal and debt concerns as a driver of hard-asset demand."

In early European trading, New York futures were up 1.1% to $4,620.80 a troy ounce.
