World gold prices soared after the ADP employment report released yesterday showed weak growth in private sector jobs. Specifically, the report showed that US businesses hired only 99,000 more workers in August, lower than the 111,000 in July and the 140,000 forecast by experts. At the same time, this is also the lowest increase since 2021. However, on the contrary, the number of initial unemployment claims for the week ending September 5 was 227,000, down 5,000 compared to the adjusted results of the previous week.
Investors’ attention is now turning to the official jobs report due out today. If the August unemployment rate matches July’s 4.3%, the highest since 2021, that would send gold prices back to record highs as the market increasingly expects a sharp interest rate cut from the US Federal Reserve (Fed), said Han Tan, chief market analyst at Exinity Group, CNBC reported.
