Gold drops as strong US payrolls boost dollar, yields
Summary
In light of stronger-than-anticipated US payroll figures, gold prices dipped significantly as the data suggested a robust labor market. This development heightened expectations for sustained high-interest rates from the Federal Reserve, bolstering the dollar's strength. Spot gold saw a decline of 0.3% to reach $4,074.36 per ounce, while US gold futures fell by 0.9%. However, Indian retail demand picked up ahead of Diwali festivities, taking advantage of the lower prices.
