Gold flat near $4,071 late; jobs-driven dollar strength kept pressure on metals

Reports tied today’s intraday softness mainly to a strong U.S. payrolls read that lifted the dollar and Treasury yields, while some outlets still pointed to steadier underlying demand and “floor” talk after the recent pullback.
