REVIEW:
• Gold futures slumped to the lowest level in more than two weeks on Friday, as traders continued to mull the timing of a Federal Reserve rate hike following the release of solid U.S. nonfarm payrolls data.
• Gold prices retreated the Non Farm Payrolls data where the number of new job added were 1, 73,000 lower than the expectations of 2, 12,000
• The jobless rate fell to 5.1 percent in August, the lowest since April 2008, a government report showed Friday
• Gold for December delivery on the Comex dropped $3.10, or 0.28%, to end Friday's session at $1,121.40 a troy ounce after falling to an intraday low of $1,115.70. U.S. markets are closed on Monday for the Labor Day holiday
OUTLOOK: Gold prices are trading on a slightly negative note this morning with lower volumes as the US markets remain closed for the day. The nonfarm payrolls decreased to 1, 73,000 from the expected number of 2, 12,000 but the unemployment rate fell to 5.1 % which was better than expectations, while the hourly earnings per hour marked an uptick by.30%. The latest comments from the Richmond Fed chairman that the economy does not need zero interest rates any more, has fueled the chances of a rate hike as early as this month, putting pressure on bullion.
