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

At 5:34 pm ET, spot gold was $4,070.93 an ounce (flat on the day), with silver at $51.95, platinum at $1,536.68, and palladium at $1,026.29. 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.
