Gold set for first weekly gain in five as Fed September hike odds drop to 54%
Softer U.S. labor data (57k nonfarm payrolls vs 110k expected) reduced market-implied September Fed hike odds (to ~54% from 66%), easing "higher-for-longer" rate pressure and supporting bullion. Spot gold rose to its highest since June 23 and is on pace for its first weekly gain in five weeks. Broader precious metals strength and reported central-bank buying reinforce near-term sector support.
