Gold Price Drops Below $3,350 on Strong U.S. Jobs Report

Gold price drops below $3,350 on Friday as new U.S. labor data revealed stronger-than-expected job growth in May. The Nonfarm Payrolls report showed 139,000 new jobs added, beating forecasts of 130,000. Although the unemployment rate held steady at 4.2%, the surprising job gains gave the U.S. Dollar a temporary lift. This eased pressure on the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates soon — typically a bullish factor for gold. However, earlier labor market data this week pointed to underlying weakness, leaving the broader policy outlook uncertain.

Thursday’s phone call between Chinese and U.S. officials helped ease short-term fears of a deepening trade war, but global investors remain cautious as tariff uncertainties and broader trade tensions persist.

The U.S. move to double tariffs on steel and aluminum imports to 50%—enforced on Wednesday—has sparked backlash from major trading partners, including India, Canada, the European Union, and Mexico, all of whom have threatened to retaliate.

As trade negotiations continue into next week, the risk of prolonged disputes looms large. If talks break down or tensions escalate, the resulting strain on the global economy could trigger equity market declines. In such a scenario, gold price drops may reverse as investors seek safety in precious metals, driving renewed demand for gold as a traditional safe-haven asset.

5 Market Moves for August 25 — Gold Pullback, Jackson Hole, Intel’s Warning and more

Gold Retreats from Two-Week High as Dollar Gains  Gold pulled back after Friday’s pop, as a stronger dollar made bullion pricier for overseas buyers. Spot gold dipped 0.2% to $3,364/oz while December futures eased to $3,410. The retreat came after gold touched its highest level since August 11 on Friday, following Fed Chair Powell’s Jackson Hole speech.  Traders still see an 85–90% chance of a 25bp Fed cut on September 17, supportive for gold in the long run. In the near term, however, gold is tracking the dollar. UBS analyst Giovanni Staunovo noted Powell’s comments point to only a modest

US Treasury Yields Jump as Hot Jobs Data Fuels Rate Expectations

US Treasury yields climbed on Friday after new jobs data showed stronger hiring than expected. The 10-year yield rose over 9 basis points to 4.486%, while the 2-year increased 11 basis points to 4.034%. The 30-year yield moved up more than 5 basis points to 4.941%. Higher yields typically suggest investors anticipate tighter monetary policy, potentially due to inflation risks or stronger economic activity. Nonfarm payrolls rose by 139,000 jobs in May, surpassing the consensus forecast of 125,000 from economists polled by Dow Jones, according to data released Friday morning. The unemployment rate remained steady at 4.2%. This stronger-than-expected jobs

What a Gold Revaluation Could Mean for the U.S. and the Dollar

What a Gold Revaluation Could Mean for the U.S. and the Dollar

The U.S. government officially owns over 8,100 tonnes of gold—the largest gold reserve in the world. But surprisingly, it still values this gold at an outdated price of $42 per ounce, a number set back in the 1970s. This undervalues its gold holdings on paper at just $11 billion, while in reality, at today’s prices (over $3,000/oz), they would be worth closer to $765 billion. So why hasn’t the U.S. updated its gold valuation? Because a gold revaluation would send a clear message: the U.S. dollar has lost significant value. That’s not something policymakers are eager to admit. Still, during

Gold Prices Rise on Fed Rate Cut Bets; Silver Hits 13-Year Peak

Gold prices edged higher on Friday, positioning the precious metal for a weekly gain of 2.1%. This rise follows encouraging U.S. economic data that has reinforced expectations of potential interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve. Gold, a classic safe-haven asset, typically performs well during times of economic or political uncertainty, especially in a low-interest-rate environment. Meanwhile, silver initially surged to a more than 13-year high, driven by strong industrial demand and ongoing supply shortages. Although it later dipped slightly by 0.1%, its momentum—alongside rising gold prices—highlights continued bullish sentiment in the broader metals market. U.S. gold futures rose slightly

Samantha is wonderful. I was nervous about spending a chunk of money. I asked her to `hold my hand’ and walk me through making my purchase.  
She laughed and guided me through, step by step. She was so helpful in explaining everything...

Travis was amazing! I was having difficulty with a wire transfer of my life’s savings, and I was very worried that I might not be able to receive it all. My husband just passed away and I’ve been worried about these funds along with grieving for 8 months. As soon as I got connected with Travis, my concerns were immediately addressed and he put me at ease. The issue was resolved within days. He even called me back with updates to keep me in the loop about what was going on with the funds. I am so grateful for a customer representative like Travis. He really cares for his clients.

Sam was also very helpful! I called and was connected to Sam within 30 seconds. She helped me with a fee that was charged to my account. She had a great attitude and took care of the fee quickly.

    Outstanding quality and customer service. I first discovered Mike Maloney through his “Secrets of Money” video series. It was an excellent precious metals education. I was a financial advisor and it really helped me learn more about wealth protection. I used this knowledge to help protect my clients retirements. I purchase my precious metals through goldsilver.com. It is easy, fast and convenient. I also invested my IRA’s and utilize their excellent storage options. Bottom line, Mike and his team have earned my trust. I continue to invest in wealth protection and my own education. I give back and help others see the opportunities to invest in precious metals. Thank you.
