Gold was selling for five thousand and sixty dollars for one ounce. It did not keep the gains it made on. This is because people got excited about the good news from the United States about jobs.
The numbers for January showed that one hundred and thirty thousand new jobs were added. This is a lot more than the forty eight thousand jobs added in December.
It is also more than the seventy thousand jobs that people thought would be added. The number of people without jobs went down to four points three percent. People are also getting paid more. The average hourly wage went up by zero point four percent from the month.
Over the year wages went up by three points seven percent. This means that the Federal Reserve can take its time to make decisions about what to do, with Gold and the economy. Gold prices are still important to watch.
The employment numbers are looking better. That means people do not think interest rates will be cut as soon as they thought. Now people think it will happen in July of June. Because of this the Treasury yields went up.
That meant gold did not go up as much as it could have.. The overall situation for gold is still good. The price of gold is near its point in weeks. This is because people think the government will make it easier to borrow money later in 2026. There are also worries, about what's happening in the world and countries are still buying gold.
Chinas central bank, the PBoC is still buying gold too which means the price of gold will not go down much. The result is a situation. There is short term pressure because the United States has strong data but the demand, for Gold is strong and that keeps Gold strong.
