Gold declines to near $4,400 as robust US jobs data lifts Fed hike odds

Gold price (XAU/USD) drifts lower to near $4,410 during the early Asian session on Tuesday. The precious metal extends the decline as a stronger-than-expected US Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) report for August bolsters expectations for a Federal Reserve (Fed) interest rate hike this month.

  • Gold prices are declining towards $4,410 due to strong US jobs data, increasing the likelihood of a Federal Reserve interest rate hike.
  • Analysts note that while near-term price action is sensitive to macro data, gold is in a structural bull run driven by broad-based conviction.
  • Technical analysis suggests a neutral near-term tone for gold, with key resistance and support levels identified.
