Gold holds steady after weak US jobs data reinforce rate-cut bets !

 

🔎 What’s happening with gold now

  • According to a recent report, Gold “held steady” above the US $4,200 per ounce mark on 4 Dec 2025. The Economic Times+2The Business Times+2

  • The reason: the latest data from the U.S. — especially a weak private-payrolls report for November showing a drop of 32,000 jobs — disappointed expectations of a modest job gain. nullThe Economic Times+1

  • This weak labor data increased the likelihood that the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) will cut interest rates soon — now markets are pricing in as high as ~ 89% chance of a rate cut at its next meeting. The Economic Times+2The Business Times+2

  • Since gold doesn’t pay interest (unlike bonds), lower interest rates reduce the “opportunity cost” of holding gold — making it more attractive. Also, the U.S. dollar weakened, which typically boosts gold’s appeal for international buyers. The Economic Times+2Investing.com India+2

  • In short: soft U.S. jobs data → higher odds of rate cuts → weaker dollar & lower yields → safe-haven demand supports gold → gold prices steady/firm around $4200+.

📰 Related Recent Developments & Context

  • Some other analyses note that gold — along with other precious metals like silver — recently regained strength due to a dovish Fed outlook and dollar weakness. Investing.com India+1

  • However, a broader watch remains on upcoming U.S. data releases (e.g. inflation data, the delayed official payrolls report), which could influence how strongly markets expect the Fed to cut rates. The Economic Times+1

  • Also worth noting: gold’s appeal has been reinforced by recurring global uncertainties. In such periods, many investors — central banks, funds, individuals — turn to gold as a “safe asset,” especially when interest rates drop and currencies weaken.
