At the global level, gold prices rose during trading today, Friday, after the release of weak data on non-agricultural jobs in the United States, which strengthened expectations that the Federal Reserve could reduce interest rates during the coming period.
Despite this rise, the precious metal is still on its way to recording its first weekly loss in five weeks, as a result of the strength of the dollar, which limited its gains.
Gold in spot transactions recorded an increase of about 1.3%, reaching $5,144.69 per ounce at the end of last week, but it declined by 2.7% at the end of the week. US gold futures for April delivery also rose 1.5% to $5,155.
In this context, independent trader in the metals sector, Tai Wong, said that the non-farm payrolls data was worryingly weak, as it revealed large losses in the private sector as wages continued to rise, which may indicate fears of stagflation.
The data showed a decrease in the number of non-agricultural jobs by about 92 thousand jobs during the past month, compared to experts’ expectations that suggested an increase of about 59 thousand jobs, while the unemployment rate rose to 4.4%.
On the geopolitical level, the region witnessed a new escalation after Israel launched raids on Beirut, following the issuance of unprecedented evacuation orders for the residents of the entire southern suburb, in a move that was considered a major escalation in the war against Iran that began a week ago in cooperation with the United States.
