On another note, gold prices surged after data showed that the number of jobs created in the United States (US) has significantly declined. This information may support the US central bank, The Federal Reserve (The Fed), in taking more accommodative policy measures.
In the trading session on Tuesday (August 29, 2023), gold prices in the spot market closed at US$ 1,937.12 per troy ounce, reflecting an increase of 0.91%, nearly 1%.
This price growth is the highest since August 1, 2023, marking over three weeks of upward trends. Gold continued to strengthen today, with prices at US$ 1,937.18 per troy ounce as of Wednesday (August 30, 2023) at 05:44 WIB, showing an increase of 0.002%.
The rise in gold prices occurred after the US reported Job Openings and Labor Turnover Summary (JOLTS) results that were worse than market expectations. JOLTS measures the number of new jobs in the US non-farm sector over a month.
In July 2023, the number of new jobs fell by 338,000 to 8.83 million. This figure is the lowest since March 2021 and below the market expectation of 9.47 million.
