Gold futures prices at New York Mercantile Exchange settled up supported by the dollar trending lower against a basket of some major currencies. A positive jobs data may cement the Fed's decision to tighten monetary policy.

Investors are playing it cautious ahead of the monthly jobs report Friday, which could have a significant impact on the outlook for interest rates.

A strong report would likely add to speculation that the Federal Reserve will raise rates in September, while a weak report could provide ammunition for more dovish central bankers to argue that the rate hike should be delayed.
