Gold Prices Fluctuate Amid US Jobs Data, Fed Rate Hike Expectations, and Geopolitical Tensions
Gold prices showed mixed movements amid strong US jobs data, rising Middle East tensions, and expectations of a Federal Reserve rate hike. While US job growth boosted rate hike bets, dampening gold demand, geopolitical risks and a weakening US dollar supported safe-haven buying. Prices fluctuated around $4,400 per ounce internationally, with domestic Indian markets reflecting similar trends. Investors await upcoming US inflation data for further direction, while silver and other precious metals also saw gains amid market uncertainty.
