Gold climbs 0.7% to $4,057.92 an ounce as soft ADP data shifts focus to U.S. payrolls
AI Market Summary
Gold strengthened after weaker-than-expected ADP private payrolls reinforced expectations for a less aggressive Fed path, while falling oil prices further eased near-term inflation concerns. The move lifted broader precious metals alongside gold as positioning adjusted ahead of the U.S. nonfarm payrolls release, which is likely to drive short-term rate expectations and real-yield sensitivity across metals.

Gold rose 0.7% on Thursday to $4,057.92 per ounce, its highest since June 23, with silver, platinum and palladium also gaining. The move followed an ADP report showing private employment rose by 98,000 last month, below economists’ forecast of 118,000, prompting traders to reassess the odds of a September Fed rate hike. Oil prices fell after Iran and the United States held indirect talks on the Strait of Hormuz with little progress, easing some inflation concerns. Investors are awaiting June’s U.S. nonfarm payrolls report due later in the day for further clues on the Fed’s policy path.
