AI Summary
Summarized by AI from the source belowGold prices remained stable following the release of weaker-than-expected U.S. jobs data, which reduced expectations for interest rate hikes. The unemployment rate rose to 5.0%, and non-farm payrolls increased by only 150,000, below analysts' forecasts. This data suggests a slowing labor market, potentially influencing Federal Reserve policy. Market analysts note that sustained low employment growth may lead to a more accommodative monetary stance by the Federal Reserve, which could further support gold prices.
