Gold rises for fourth session as US jobs data lifts Fed rate cut bets

By Anushree Mukherjee and Brijesh Patel (Reuters) -Gold nudged higher for a fourth session on Tuesday, supported by a softer dollar and lower Treasury yields as weaker-than-expected U.S. jobs data strengthened expectations of a rate cut in September. Spot gold was up 0.1% at $3,375.89 per ounce as of 0239 GMT. U.S. gold futures also gained 0.1% to $3,430.40. The dollar index hovered near a one-week low, making gold more affordable to holders of other currencies. [USD/] The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note dropped to a one-month low. [USD/] [US/] "Short-term momentum has improved for the bullish side of the narrative supporting gold prices is that the Fed is still in the mode to actually cut rates in September," OANDA senior market analyst Kelvin Wong said. U.S. employment growth was softer than expected in July, while non-farm payroll figures for May and June were revised down by a massive 258,000 jobs, suggesting a deterioration in labor market conditions. Traders now see a 92% chance of a September rate cut, per the CME FedWatch tool. San Francisco Fed Bank President Mary Daly said on Monday that given mounting evidence that the U.S. job market is softening and that there is no sign of persistent tariff-driven inflation, the time is nearing for rate cuts. Gold, traditionally considered a safe-haven asset during political and economic uncertainties, tends to thrive in a low-interest-rate environment. On the trade front, President Donald Trump once again threatened on Monday to raise tariffs on Indian goods over its Russian oil purchases. New Delhi called his remarks "unjustified" and vowed to protect its economic interests, deepening the trade rift between the two countries. Still, gold faces some technical resistance. "I still do not see traders pushing up aggressively above the $3,450 level. Unless we have a very clear catalyst for gold price to actually pick up this level" OANDA's Wong said. Elsewhere, spot silver rose 0.1% to $37.44 per ounce, platinum gained 0.1% to $1,330.31 and palladium was up 0.2% to $1,204.25.

Trump's Tariff to Test India's Central Bank: Decision Guide

US President Donald Trump's tariff shock on India is complicating the central bank's interest rate decision Wednesday, with some economists bringing forward their expectations for easing. Before Trump's announcement, most economists had expected no change in rates following the governor's cautious stance in the June policy meeting. Now, some of them — including Soumya Kanti Ghosh of State Bank of India Ltd. and Dhiraj Nim of Australia & New Zealand Banking Group — are forecasting a quarter-point rate cut to shield Asia's third-largest economy from tariff-related uncertainty.

'On the precipice of recession': A top economist warns that not even the Fed may be able to rescue the US from a downturn

Mark Zandi, chief economist of Moody's, has a grim prediction for the US economy. He said he sees the US economy teetering at the edge of a recession. Zandi attributes economic pressures to to Trump's tariffs and immigration policy. The top economist at Moody's has some thoughts on the economy's future, and they're not particularly upbeat. Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's Analytics, said over the weekend that he believes a recession is likely, and that even eagerly anticipated rate cuts from the Federal Reserve probably won't stave off a downturn. The economist said in a series of posts on X that the US economy is "on the precipice of recession," with consumer spending weakening and risks facing both construction and manufacturing. "With inflation on the rise, it is tough for the Fed to come to the rescue," Zandi said. President Donald Trump has repeatedly demanded that the central bank slash interest rates this year, with some officials recently backing those calls. They argue that the Fed risks being too late to support a weakening labor market. But Zandi thinks a recession is coming regardless, and rate cuts won't be able to offset two forces he thinks are pressuring the economy: tariffs and immigration policy. "The tariffs are cutting increasingly deeply into the profits of American companies and the purchasing power of American households," he said. "Fewer immigrant workers means a smaller economy." While Zandi acknowledged that the unemployment rate has remained low, he added that the growth of the US labor force has "gone sideways" as participation falls and the foreign-born workforce continues to shrink. Recent data show that the US labor market is struggling more many observers thought. Figures from the Bureau of Labor Statistics showed that US employers added 73,000 jobs in July, much less than economists were expecting. Many job seekers have also reported bleak prospects as companies scale back hiring. Read the original article on Business Insider Sign in to access your portfolio
