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.

At 8:34 AM ET, spot gold is $4,050.06 an ounce (-0.93%), while silver is $51.91 (+0.25%). Reports point to a push-pull between weekly momentum and fresh caution tied to oil-driven inflation worries, Fed-rate expectations, and today’s U.S. payrolls data.
