Gold is trading 3.01% up now at $4429 after weaker U.S. employment data increased expectations for lower interest rates.

  • Reuters and CNBC also linked the rally to Middle East uncertainty, including Strait of Hormuz risks, strengthening safe-haven demand and supporting Gold’s move toward record territory.
  • The latest advance follows Gold’s 3.67% gain on August 5, extending a sharp multi-session rally.
