Gold held onto modest intraday gains, trading near multi-week highs as investors adopted a cautious stance ahead of the US non-farm payrolls (NFP) report. The precious metal benefited from its safe-haven appeal amid lingering concerns over global economic uncertainties, even as the US dollar remained strong.

Market expectations for a robust NFP report have bolstered the dollar and US Treasury yields, typically negative for gold. However, the metal’s resilience reflects underlying demand as traders hedge against potential volatility tied to the Federal Reserve’s policy trajectory. A weaker-than-expected jobs report could trigger a rally in gold prices, while stronger data might cap gains.

Gold’s performance has also been supported by concerns about inflationary pressures and geopolitical risks, which have kept demand for safe-haven assets intact. Spot gold prices have hovered near key technical levels, with traders closely monitoring any movements that could signal a broader trend shift.

Analysts suggest that gold’s near-term outlook will largely depend on the outcome of the US labor market data. While the current momentum appears balanced, the NFP report could be a pivotal factor in determining whether gold breaks higher or retreats from its recent highs.
