Gold prices ticked higher on Wednesday, hitting the best levels of the session after data showed that U.S. consumer price growth slowed in November. Comex gold futures were up $4.00, or about 0.3%, at $1,251.20 a troy ounce by 8:45AM ET (13:45 GMT), not far from a five-month peak of $1,256.60 touched at the start of the week.

Gold was steady as investors weighed a pickup in underlying U.S. inflation and the latest developments in U.S.-China trade talks. The so-called core consumer price index, which excludes volatile food and energy costs, rose as expected in November, reinforcing expectations that the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates next week. While trade tensions have appeared to ease, Trump administration officials on Wednesday signaled that Beijing will have to do more to end the tariff...
Gold steadies as holdings in bullion-backed exchange-traded funds expand amid concerns about slowing global economic growth and a potential pause in interest rate increases by the Federal Reserve. The U.S. central bank is unlikely to raise rates in 2019 and 2020 based on bond market indicators and the greenback is expected to weaken, according to Jeffrey Gundlach, chief investment officer of DoubleLine Capital. Money managers reduced bearish bets on bullion in...
U.S. hiring cooled by more than forecast in March following a strong February while wages picked up and the unemployment rate remained the lowest since 2000, returning labor-market progress to a more sustainable pace that may keep Federal Reserve policy makers on track for further interest-rate increases.
Payrolls rose 103,000, compared with the median estimate of economists for 185,000, after an upwardly revised 326,000 advance, Labor Department figures showed Friday. The jobless rate was 4.1 percent for a sixth month, bucking forecasts for a decline, while average hourly earnings increased 2.7 percent from a year earlier, matching projections.
The results follow strong hiring in 2017 and show an average pace of payrolls growth this year that's still sufficient to push down the unemployment rate, which already is below Fed estimates of levels sustainable in the long run. A pickup in wages -- which has remained elusive in this expansion -- would support consumer spending, though some economists worry it may also spark inflation.
œThe labor market is continuing to strengthen, and we haven't seen a material shift in that, Sam Bullard, senior economist at Wells Fargo Securities LLC, said before the report. Even when there's a weak payroll number in one month, œthe Fed and the markets are going to look through it.
At the same time, the specter of a trade war with China is a wild card for the outlook, particularly after President Donald Trump raised tensions by ordering his administration to consider imposing tariffs on an additional $100 billion in Chinese imports.
The slowdown in payroll gains reflected reversals in construction and retail. Construction payrolls fell by 15,000 in March, the first decline since July, following a gain of 65,000 in February. Retailers cut 4,400 workers, following a rise of 47,300 in February.
