Gold Retreats to Weekly Low amid Strong Job Data and Powell's Comments Gold prices fell to a one-week low, influenced by strong U.S. employment figures and comments from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, which diminished expectations of early interest rate cuts. The anticipation of a more robust economic stance pushed the dollar and bond yields up, affecting gold’s appeal. By midday GMT on Monday, spot gold had decreased by 0.6% to $2,025.99 per ounce, marking its lowest point since January 29. Similarly, U.S. gold futures saw a 0.6% drop to $2,042.60 per ounce. « Previous Article Next Article » Share This Article Choose Your Platform: Facebook Twitter Google Plus Linkedin Related Posts U.S. job growth totaled 175,000 in April, much less than expected, while unemployment rose to 3.9% READ MORE Fed Chair Powell says inflation has been higher than thought, expects rates to hold steady READ MORE The Day the Hunt Brothers Capped the Price of Gold (Part I) READ MORE The Gold Investing Madness Is Just Getting Started READ MORE Add a Comment Cancel replyYour email address will not be published.
