Gold succumbs to profit-taking after US jobs data-fuelled rally
By Anushree Mukherjee and Brijesh Patel (Reuters) -Gold prices slipped on Monday as investors booked profits after a sharp rise in the previous session following weaker-than-expected U.S. jobs data that boosted expectations for a Federal Reserve interest rate cut in September. Spot gold lost 0.3% to $3,354.17 per ounce as of 0229 GMT. Bullion had risen more than 2% on Friday. However, U.S. gold futures gained 0.2% to $3,407.10. "Gold has made a conservative start to the week following Friday's price jump. A combination of profit taking and dollar stabilisation has caused gold to ease marginally to kick-off the week," KCM Trade Chief Market Analyst Tim Waterer said. Asian markets tracked Wall Street lower as fears for the U.S. economy returned with a vengeance, prompting investors to price in an almost certain rate cut in September and undermining the dollar. [MKTS/GLOB] Last week, U.S. job growth slowed more than expected in July, with nonfarm payrolls increasing by 73,000 jobs last month, after rising by a downwardly revised 14,000 in June, the Labor Department's Bureau of Labor Statistics said. This revived hopes of a Fed rate cut in September, with markets now pricing in an 81% chance, per CME FedWatch tool. The tariffs U.S. President Donald Trump imposed last week on scores of countries are likely to stay in place rather than be cut as part of continuing negotiations, Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said in comments aired on Sunday. "But with Trump on the tariff warpath once again, and the soft U.S. jobs report increasing the odds that we could see a September FOMC rate cut, any pullbacks in the precious metal could be of a shallow nature," Waterer added. Gold, traditionally considered a safe-haven asset during political and economic uncertainties, tends to thrive in a low-interest-rate environment. Spot silver fell 0.6% to $36.80 per ounce, platinum slipped 0.6% to $1,307.02 and palladium eased 0.9% to $1,197.76.

Vinicius Junior's camp confirm no Real Madrid contract agreement
Real Madrid superstar Vinicius Junior is no closer to agreeing a contract extension with the La Liga giants this summer. The Brazil international remains vitally important to Xabi Alonso's plans in the Spanish capital but there are questions facing both after the FIFA Club World Cup exit. A 4-0 semi final humbling at the hands of rivals PSG sharpened the focus on Alonso and his players with Vinicius coming in for criticism. Real Madrid are rumoured to be have unimpressed with his efforts in the USA, which he is to be punished for, and that could have a knock-on effect to his future. Ongoing interest from the Saudi Pro League remains in the background and Real Madrid want an answer from their No.7. Vinicius Junior's Real Madrid contract update Real Madrid are working on a new contract with Vinicius, and it's been reported an agreement has been reached – with the idea being for it to be signed later this summer – but that no longer looks to be the case. His current deal in the Spanish capital runs until 2027, with Real Madrid pushing to extend it to 2030, but the situation is now at a standstill. Saudi clubs are on alert over the situation, as Real Madrid seek to avoid him slipping into the final 12-18 months of his contract at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu. Image via Reuters The 24-year-old answered questions on his future at the Club World Cup, which gives Real Madrid hope. 'I hope I can stay here for many years. I've always said it's the club of my life. I'm very happy with the coach and the staff, I hope I can stay,' as per Mundo Deportivo. 'I have a two year contract until 2027. I want to stay for my entire career and make history in this team.' Vinicius' agent blocks Real Madrid talks With Real Madrid effectively pausing the negotiations, with the player is yet to make a decision, and reports from Cadena COPE claim his representatives have confirmed no renewal is in place.
