Investors Eye US Jobs Report for Further Direction

Gold prices have edged higher in early Asian trade, likely due to a technical recovery. Safe-haven demand for the precious metal had decreased, but geopolitical risks can quickly reverse this trend if tensions persist. Investors are now focusing on the upcoming U.S. jobs report, as any signs of weakness may increase expectations for continued aggressive rate cuts. With lower interest rates boosting gold’s appeal, spot gold currently stands at $2,660.63/oz.
