Gold and Silver Prices Dip After Strong US Jobs Data Amid Rate Hike Expectations
Gold and silver prices fell following stronger-than-expected US jobs data, which increased expectations of a Federal Reserve interest rate hike in December. Despite declines, both metals are on track for weekly gains, with gold poised for its best week since August. The robust US labor market strengthened the dollar and Treasury yields, raising the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding bullion. Meanwhile, Indian retail demand rose ahead of Diwali, benefiting from lower gold prices amid ongoing geopolitical and inflation concerns.
