Gold steadied amid better-than-anticipated U.S. jobs data

The yellow metal steadied as investors weighed signs of an economic recovery. Moreover, gold steadied amid better-than-anticipated U.S. jobs data and the implications of President Joe Biden’s spending plans.

Furthermore, data published on Friday revealed U.S. created highest number of jobs past month in seven months. Remarkably, more vaccinations and fewer business restrictions helped the labor market to rebound. According to a Labor Department report Friday, nonfarm payrolls rose by 916,000 last month. Meanwhile, February employment was revised up to a 468,000 gain.

Moreover, traders are also observing the progress of debate over Biden’s $2.25 trillion infrastructure proposal, as Republicans expressed guarded support for a more limited plan. Trading is expected to be muted on Monday as markets (Australia, China, and Hong Kong) are closed for holidays.

Gold experiences its first quarterly decline since 2018 on increasing bond yields and optimism over recovery from the pandemic. Moreover, investor sentiment around the precious metal has dimmed. Holdings in bullion-backed exchange-traded funds have sunk to the lowest since May. Meanwhile, hedge fund managers cut net bullish gold bets to a three-week low.
