Gold prices extended their upward momentum during Wednesday’s Asian session, advancing toward seven‑week highs above $4,300. The precious metal continues to benefit from a softer US Dollar and growing expectations that the Federal Reserve may deliver additional rate cuts in the coming months.
The latest US employment data for November painted a mixed picture—showing that while the labor market remains broadly resilient, underlying indicators point to a gradual cooling. This moderation has strengthened market conviction that the Fed’s tightening cycle is firmly behind it, with investors increasingly pricing in further policy easing next year.
The shift in rate expectations has weighed on US Treasury yields and the Dollar, providing a supportive backdrop for non‑yielding assets such as gold. Traders now look ahead to upcoming US macro releases for additional confirmation of the labour market trend and the Fed’s policy trajectory.
